Well, the Westernized Saudis are purposely confining themselves to one wife, and following the companionate model of marriage prevalent among educated Americans. They frequently drink Scotch. They rarely force their wives to take the veil, but allow them to wear Western clothing and, if possible, to take jobs. They primarily socialize with Americans and Europeans working in Saudi Arabia. So they may be Moslem in some sense, but they are not necessarily Wahhabi.
