You couldn't really worry about a more extreme Islamic regime than the House of Saud could you?
I mean that society is about as mental as you could wish upon anyone, except their government is more or less onside given they know who's buying their oil making them so incredibly wealthy. If anything when Saudi society finally pops, it will be a liberal uprising, not a more conservative one. It's simply impossible to be more conservative than how their society already is.

Indeed,
but who would support such an uprising? There were a few protests a while back, the authorities threw them some tiny morsels of reform and everyone just shrugged and carried on as normal.
Most people are like that, really, they just want to get on with their lives, thinking the bad shit won't happen to them.

I don't know, the place has been simmering for a while
It's obviously not a basket case like Syria, but a quick google of Saudi Arabia discontent and all is not butterflies and unicorns at the moment

I just hope not a repeat of 1973 again
we seem to be up to our necks paying interest to the bankers as it is, a surge in oil prices would be just what we don't need
