They are of course pursuing Christians as well. When they seized a number of foreign nationals a few weeks ago, those who were released were Muslims who recounted tales of their captors asking who was Muslim and who was Christian. The Muslims were told to "grow beards and go home and pray".
The Christians were executed.
And with Paul Johnson, the latest captive, their missive stated that they had captured another "American Christian".
Saudis are merely reaping what they have allowed to be sown over the years. Their appeasement policies of course do not appease forever. One of their challenges is finding the courage to weed out Al-Qaeda sympathizers within their own military and police ranks.
My brother was in Saudi with his family for several years in the mid to late 80's as a contract employee with Northrop. I thank heaven he is not there right now.

Just because these fanatics have made it about religion doesn't mean you have to as well....
