"Saudi Arabia is one of the primary targets of #ISIS & Al Qaeda because it is the birthplace of Islam & home to its Two Holy Mosques."

Saudi named itself Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques, cutting off Iran and others who in the past had access to that holy place.

Further, the ideology of ISIS and al Qaeda is to kill infidels and spread Islam, not target the "birthplace of Islam"... so total trickery in that statement. They attack Saudi because of the funds being cut off or revenge of some sort that is personal vendetta. Revenge culture.

But in this continued statement that the Saudi KINGDOM is the SOLE Guardian of the Two Holy Mosques it solidifies their territorial claim, over and over. Also enforcing the required Pilgrimage of ALL Muslims to Mecca. Huge economic income, bigger than oil for the Kingdom.
