What do you mean by building slowly? Political steps? We need social change. Proper, educated Muslims.
An educated religious society without ilks of AQ and tribal mentality.
This is exactly what Al-Saud have done , prior to them Arabian peninsula was nothing more than several tribal groups fighting each other over cattle and water.
Al-Saud formed the ikhwan army out of all Arabian peninsula tribes and formed modern day Saudi Arabia by uniting all the Arab tribes there and ending tribalism that divided the Arabian peninsula into separate regions.
Back in 1932 when Saudi Arabia was formed literacy rate was barely 10% but thanks to Al-Saudi look at Saudi Arabia today the largest Economy in the region and for the first time in Islamic history they developed Mecca and Madina into modern cities.
The Arabian peninsula was always neglected and treated badly by previous muslim caliphs including ottmans , all taxes were spent on baghdad and damascus and nothing was sent to the Arabian peninsula region.
This old bitter experience our people in the Arabian peninsula have seen at the ends of the so called khilafa made us rise up against ottmans to develop our own countries and thank god we managed to achieve prosperity and stability after controlling our own destiny largely thanks to Al-Saudi who kicked ottmans and united the Arabian peninsula and later on formed Gulf union to bring the smaller Gulf states under its branch.
I am no fan of wahabi doctrine but I have deep respect for what Al-Saudi have done to our region and my country.
