Saudi Arabia is the home to the two Holy Mosques at Mecca and Medina. Such is the Saudi's dedication to Islam the current King has made himself  the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques. This is a double-edged sword as it ensures that the Holy Mosques are kept in pristine condition, it also ensures in this time of a changing Saudi that should anyone attempt to overthrow the King then they would effectively be attacking a guardian of Islam.

I have an English-Arabic copy of the Q'uraan, this doesn't in anyway infer that I am an expert on Islam. My knowledge of Islam was greatly increased by the willing teachings of my Saudi Colleagues at King Khalid Air Base Armament Shop. Which gave me a great insight into the similarities between Islam and Christianity.
