Saudi Arabia is a kingdom and it is corrupt. Once again you are equating the corrupt practices of some people to an entire religion held by a billion living persons and perhaps trillions who have passed on. Why? Is it because you are a biggot? Or is it because you are ignorant? It is not because the religion is at fault as you claim... The Quran: “O mankind! We created You from a single (pair) Of a male and a female, And made you into Nations and tribes, that Ye may know each other (Not that ye may despise Each other). Verily, The most honored of you In the sight of God Is (he who is) the most Righteous of you. And God has full knowledge And is well acquainted (With all things).” [49:13] “Say ye: ‘We believe In God, and the revelation Given to us, and to Abraham, smail, Isaac, Jacob, And the Tribes, and that given To Moses and Jesus, and that given To (all) Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference Between one and another of them: And we bow to God in Islam.’” [2:136] “Let there be no compulsion In religion: Truth stands out Clear from Error: Whoever Rejects Evil and believes In God hath grasped The most trustworthy Hand-hold, that never breaks. And God heareth And knoweth all things. [2:256] The Qur’an is filled with verses that urge Muslims to practice tolerance toward non-Muslims. More than that, the Divine Knowledge of the Qur’an embodies principles which are useful to every individual, Muslim and non-Muslim, in developing human relations which can manage human differences and calm religious intolerance in a pluralistic society. That there are corrupt individuals on the Earth is no surprise...nor is it a surprise to me that you would use their deeds for your own corrupt purposes.
