The GOTUS and POTUS have always known how intolerant Islam is, especially the Wahabbi salafist variety practised in Saudi Arabia. Even Western Christians have been deported (in one well-publicised case, the "accused" was tonsured and shackled before being put on board a plane). One "excuse" that fundamentalist Islamists there have always offered is that The Prophet (PBUH) had said on his death-bed that there should not be two religions in that land and hence the entire Saudi Arabia is one holy place where nobody can practise any other religion !
I remember one US report which said that there was enough religious freedom within KSA as people are allowed to pray to their own God within their houses !! And then, the US report went ahead to "indict" India on its religious intolerance. Serious, I am not joking.
The biggest threat to the world is not KSA, not TSP, not Islam. It is the USA.
