Ok, even if I agree to your narrative, let's ignore Israel from the equation. What if SA and Iran gets into an agreement of sort(like Iran and Israel did while bombing Osirak!) even temporarily to deal with ISIS? That would send a clear message.
Something like Operation Valkurie is used to show that the entire German leadership was not solidly behind Hitler.
Saudi Arabia isn't that concerned from ISIL yet. Also, they have converging interests. ISIL is anti-Assad/Iran and so are most Saudi Arabians. Then, you also have people who are loyal to the king/house of saud. If ISIL makes threats against them then Saudi Arabians will justify attacking ISIS near their borders but won't cooperate with Iran. If there is any cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Iran it will only happen for two reasons:
1. Muslim Brotherhood becoming popular again
2. Syria become too prolonged that a temporary political solution is needed
................
PS: I just noticed something creepy, every time I wrote Saudi Arabia it aligned all under each other to left. I didn't do that on purpose.
................
Anyways, I will explain to you the situation. ISIL is a new creed but not new people. Before US war on Iraq, there were people who were nationalist and not that religious. During the war they became moderate and took arms against the US forces in Iraq. After US gave power to Shia minority this upset them. And after joint-cooperation between Iraqi gov't and US they became extreme and called themselves AQ in Iraq. Then we have the situation in Syria and situation for Sunni's in Iraq becoming worse and more Shia domination in Iraq. So this made them even more extreme than they are. They are human beings, just very angry desperate ones.
Now, the people in Palestine(Gaza/West Bank) have lost patience in Gaza. But, soon the West Bank will also patience if no solution is achieved. Then the people in Egypt are going to desparate again if Egypt faces more electricity/fuel crisis. And the MB sympathizers in the Arab world are becoming more desperate due to Arab government persecution of them. Saudi Arabia was scared when MB won elections in Egypt. So now the Arab Sunni world is divided. But, Syria arised, and citizens of KSA want their government to support the opposition.
This was true in the beginning, but now they may see their government as backing away or cooperating with Iran. This is going to upset some adult males in KSA and make them extreme, and make the not so religious/political people become moderate/political. In the future this could mean rebelllion in the Arabian Gulf.
So unless everything goes perfect in the next decade, we will see a different generation in the ME. More people in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, are getting angry at the situation. It's not enough yet though, it will become enough if conflicts in Palestine/Syria/Iraq aren't solved.
Once it becomes enough there will be unity amongst Sunni adult males, and they may take arms up against KSA/Egyptian government and maybe get support from African Muslims. If KSA destabilizes then somebody is going to have to lead the 'Muslim' world. A lot of borders will be violated. So sadly, more desperation is on the way. It's thanks to the developments in the last century that broiled up this modern situation.
And Muslims believe someone will lead them if KSA sees destabilization.
What?? Lol explain the bold.
I don't want to get into trouble with the mods.
