Yes, because Saudi Arabia is an Oasis of secular humanism now. The very model of a modern enlightenment.

Saudi Arabia has lots of money, but it's not distributed very broadly or fairly. Only a few Saudis are actually wealthy.

So they don't really have either prosperity or equality or enlightenment in that part of the world.

Face it. Every attempt to eradicate or exile a given group within a population of humans has failed since the dawn of history*.

Face it. Charlemagne eradicated the Avars with some help from the Bulgarians. ...the Avar people the language the civilization. ...all gone.

Chandragupta II also did his share of ethnic cleansing. Also known as "Vikramaditya, he "unburdened the sacred earth of the Barbarians like the Shakas, Mlecchas, Kambojas, Yavanas, Tusharas, Parasikas, Hunas, etc. by annihilating these sinners completely."

I wouldn't advocate such public policy here, but never underestimate what your fellow humans are capable of doing to your other fellow humans.
