Most of the terrorism, and a lot of the rioting is being caused by a particularly extremist sect that is deeply entrenched in Saudia Arabia, and was the backbone of the Taliban. Wahabism. It was founded by an Islamic scholar Abdul Wahab.
One important note is that Deobandism is the backbone of the Taliban. It is a movement that was formed in Northern India and predates Wahabism. It went on to influence the Wahabism after it had become extant in Saudi Arabia but it is still a separate (and older) movement.
