So which problems did the House of Saud cause before 1979? Care to educate me? And I am by no means a big fan of them to tell you the truth.
In fact it were Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood members that were welcomed as refugees after escaping the rule of Gamal Abdel Nasser (Pan-Arab originally from Hijaz) and moved to KSA as political refugees and they later taught as scholars at universities etc. and brought with them Qutbism.

The same Qutbism has influenced OBL, Al-Qaeda and all other militant Jihadists movements.
Sayyid Qutb has been seen as a spiritual father and the figurehead of what is wrong with the Muslim world, it's state and what should be done to change it. According to those that agree with him.
The Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed at that time in Egypt. Still to this day KSA or the House of Saud have a very deep suspicion of the Muslim Brotherhood. Just look at Egypt right now.
It was a time where Saudi Arabia was rapidly moving in a secular and somewhat Western direction which some of the old pictures from the early 1970's and late 1960's confirm or by students outside KSA confirm. Of course that was relative to the region etc.
The Grand Mosque Seizure in 1979 (Masjid al-Haram) also changed all that in the opposite direction when that group of lunatics made that famous hijacking.

Following the attack, the Saudi state implemented stricter enforcement of Islamic code.[5]
Besides it was all done to counter pan-Arabism which in its social form (the most popular one) was against kingdoms let alone good ties to the West. So the Arab monarchies were natural enemies. Besides the ideology being alien to most Arabs due to its secular and political nature. Or all Middle Eastern people for that matter if we look past the Kemalist movement in Turkey.
