Mmmh, looks that you are right. I was probably blinded by the excessive (western) lifestyle of the leading caste.
On the other hand i still think that the Saudi government is regarded as secular by islamic extremists: It's connection to the west and the presence of U.S. troops within its borders makes them to traitors as it profanes the holy sites - Bin Laden used this "argument" to justify the Sept. 11 attacks.
