Many saudis are uneducated and stupid just like many many americans. The thing is that even the poor and stupid Americans don’t have such a bad attitude as Saudis. I’m sure there are good people there but because of their culture the majority of them are stuck in backwards primitive ways. I think the only way that the middle east could actually join the modern world without letting money support them would be to seriously neuter islam and let secular governments come into power. Considering arab culture this might not even fix things but it would be a start. Your religion does need to be destroyed insofar as christianity has been in order to cut off what is unnecessary and holding it back. In its current state its incompatable with modern life and poisons everywhere it touches.
