Dear dhimmi no more,

Please try not to be insulting with you comments about my typos, grammar, syntax, or I'll start Taxing you for your Sins - since I'm not a Muslim, and neither are you, you can be Taxed.

Apparently you are uninformed about Saudi Arabia's leading religious family, Al ash-Sheikh. This is the Family with which the founder of Wahhabism comes, and it is from this family that the religious authority is chosen. Even though the House of Saud also intermarries with them, the Secular and Religious distinction is maintained effectively because the roles are kept my the two Patriarchate families separately.

If you don't understand me, I suggest you begin with this article in Wikipedia about Al ash-Sheikh:
