They talk out of both sides of their mouths because it's convenient, but reality is that the Saudi royal family is Wahhabi.


However, they are rich and powerful and very much want to stay rich and powerful. The Islamists want a theocratic government in Saudi Arabia so the royal family treads carefully but suspiciously. The Saud family has a brighter future being aligned with the West than encouraging a Islamist nation.
