This is so informative and fascinating on so many levels. Well done, @guardian. You managed to be honest, thorough, and nuanced.
Yes, bin Laden was brainwashed, then he went on to brainwash others, like my ex, and now his son...and the beat goes on.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/03/osama-bin-laden-mother-speaks-out-family-interview?CMP=share_btn_tw …

Thank you for sharing this article. I feel like it has informed my understanding of a lot of people that I assumed too much about. Also, I loved how the warning by the uncle was phrased: "You are entering horrible parts of your soul."

This article slightly exaggerates the role of the Iranian revolution and its perceived attempt to export Shia zeal on the Sunni Arab world in making the Saudi state so conservative. The Saudis were already deeply conservative and intolerant even before the Shah was toppled.

Juhayman al-Otaybi was a product of the Saudi clerical system, who resented the reforms pushed by King Faisal, which led to the siege of the Grand Mosque in 79. Placing the responsibility of Saudi conservatism on Iranian doors is irresponsible.
