在接下来的九十年里，庞大而挥霍的沙特王室将通过收买那些让他们掌权的教条瓦哈比派而生存，只要他们的信徒将圣战活动指向海外，就在经济上补贴他们的活动。这种安排最著名的产物就是一个名叫奥萨马·本·拉登的人。
(For the next ninety years, the vast and profligate Saudi royal family would survive by essentially buying off the doctrinaire Wahhabists who had brought them to power, financially subsidizing their activities so long as their disciples directed their jihadist efforts abroad. The most famous product of this arrangement was to be a man named Osama bin Laden.)
