You Just dont get it...
What human beings do is based on their belief (emaan) and the faith (Yaqeen) they place in things.
Prophets of the past came to warn us about having false belief in man made books (people of the book) in Places (people of Israel) in objects (Hindus) in other human beings (Mushrihk) in Country (Communist) in business (Capitalist) in Agriculture and the elements, NONE OF THE ABOVE MUST BE WORSHIPPED, YOUR LORD GOD IS ALLAH
DO NOT LOOK AT THE HUMAN EXAMPLE OF A SCRIPTURE< A HUMAN IS FALLIBLE PRONE TO MAKE MISTAKES WHEN HE ACTS ACCORDING TO HIS OWN DESIRES AND INTELLECT.
THAT IS WHY PROPHET MUHAMMAD CAME AS THE BEST OF EXAMPLES FOR MANKIND, SHOWING US THE PATH OF THE PROPHETS, MUSLIMS FULFILL PROPHECY AND SCRIPTURE, MORE THAN THAT THEY LIVE IT AND WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES THE WHOLE WORLD REPORTS IT, IS THAT NOT SIGN FOR YOU, WHEN SOME OTHER RELIGION GOES INTO A FOREIGN COUNTRY TO MURDER AND STEAL AND EXPLOIT AND RAPE IT IS NOT A TALKING POINT IT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL BEHAVIOUR FOR THAT DISBELIEVER, WHEN A MUSLIM DOES IT IT IS SHOCKING!!!
THERE IS A SIGN FOR YOU, YOU REPORT PART OF THE SIGN REPORTING ALL THE BAD OF THE MUSLIMS (HUMAN)
THIS CREATES AWARENESS AMONGST TRUE BELIEVERS THAT THERE IS MUCH TO BE DONE IN THE MUSLIM UMMAH (BROTHERHOOD)
WE NEED AN AMIR TO BECOME WHAT WE ARE DESTINED TO BE, "THE BEST OF CREATION, COMMAND WITH WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBID THAT WHICH IS EVIL"
ON THREE LEVELS
WHEN WE SEE SOMETHING WRONG WE HAVE TO USE OUR STRENGTH (ABILITIES) TO CORRECT IT
IF WE CANNOT WE MUST SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT,
IF WE CANNOT WE FEEL SAD IN OUR HEARTS AND ASK ALLAH TO CHANGE THE CONDITION FOR THE BENEFIT OF HUMANITY
At the moment very muslims are in the third category, unfortunately , i am making every effort to create awareness amongst every human being that he is destined to meet his Creator and that his abode here is temporary and that the life hereafter is everlasting, therefore find out what the responsibility is that we have as human beings, that will benefit ourselves and the entire humanity.
We will not achieve this by focussing on the evil-doers, or highlighting the faults of others while we have huge beams in our own eyes.
"SEEK THE TRUTH BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO SPEAK THE TRUTH" my own quote
What the Saudis are doing is policing their country, they do not want it to deteriorate like many other countries, Drugs, sex and alcohol, pornography, no respect for elders, murders, rapes, extramarital affairs and exploitation of rich over the poor and calling it business. They are doing what the deem necessary to maintain law and order according to their cultural needs. If that is the biggest gripe other people can have then they are short sighted and fooling themselves. Jails are a clear indication that certain people need policing, and prevention is better than jailing.
"The Desert Arabs are more obdurate in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits which God has sent down to His Messenger. God is All-Knowing, All-Wise." (Quran - Surat at-Tawba: 97)

This is a misquote by you, you tend to do this all the time, take Ayaats out of context even from the OT and NT to suit your absurd arguments!!!!
IT IS etiquette to quote at least THREE AYAATS when citing THE QURAN< SO THAT YOU GET A CONTEXT OF THE LINE YOU QUOTING>
Here is Verses 97-1
The bedouins (a'raby not araby) are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His Messenger. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The Bedouins, the [Arab] nomads, are more intense in unbelief and hypocrisy, than the city-dwellers, on account of their harshness and crude nature and their being too remote to hear the Qur'?n, and are more likely not to know the bounds of what God has revealed to His Messenger, in the way of rulings and [legal] prescriptions; and God is Knower, of His creatures, Wise, in what He does with them.
9:98
Sahih International
And among the bedouins are some who consider what they spend as a loss and await for you turns of misfortune. Upon them will be a misfortune of evil. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And of the Bedouins there is he who takes what he expends, in the way of God, as a penalty, as a liability and a [financial] loss, because he does not aspire to be rewarded for it, but expends it out of fear: these were Ban? Asad and [Ban?] Ghataf?n; and awaits for you [evil] turns of fortune, the fortunes of time, for you, that these should turn against you, and so be rid [of you]. Theirs shall be the evil (read as al-s?, or al-saw) turn of fortune, that is, chastisement and destruction shall turn on them, not on you. And God is Hearer, of the sayings of His servants, Knower, of their actions.
9:99
Sahih International
But among the bedouins are some who believe in Allah and the Last Day and consider what they spend as means of nearness to Allah and of [obtaining] invocations of the Messenger. Unquestionably, it is a means of nearness for them. Allah will admit them to His mercy. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And of the Bedouins there is he who believes in God and the Last Day, such as [men from among the tribes of] Juhayna and Muzayna, and takes what he expends, in the way of God, as [pious] offerings to bring [him] nearer to God, and, as a means, to [secure] the prayers, the supplications, of the Messenger, for him. Surely these, the expenditure of such [men], will bring them nearer (read qurubatun or qurbatun), to Him. God will admit them into His mercy, His Paradise. Truly God is Forgiving, to those who obey Him, Merciful, to them.
9:100
Sahih International
And the first forerunners [in the faith] among the Muhajireen and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct - Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And the first to lead the way, of the Emigrants and the Helpers, namely, those who were present at [the battle of] Badr, or [it means] all the Companions, and those who follow them, up to the Day of Resurrection, by being virtuous, in deeds, God will be pleased with them, for their obedience of Him, and they will be pleased with Him, for His reward [to them]; and He has prepared for them Gardens - with rivers flowing beneath them (a variant reading adds min [min tahtih?, "beneath which"]) - to abide therein forever: that is the supreme triumph.[/i]
The much-feared mutaween roam the streets of the conservative kingdom wielding sticks to enforce dress codes and sex segregation and to ensure that Islamic prayers are performed on time.
Those who refuse to obey the orders of the religious police are usually beaten and sometimes jailed.

Many foreigners I spoke to, skype, cellphone etc will concur that you are being a little dramatic and a touch paranoid, then again these are law abiding respectful people, I should actually speak to disrespectful, rude, obnoxious, arrogant, "I can do as I please when I please and to hell with everyone" kind of people and maybe they would have your view that we should impose our values on other countries and turn their lands into the kind of chaos we strive to keep under control with huge ,;ilitary and police budgets and still have a problem with gangsters in LA
The Mara Salvatrucha gang originated in Los Angeles, set up in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in the city's Pico-Union neighborhood who immigrated to the United States after the Central American civil wars of the 1980s.[5][6]
Originally, the gang's main purpose was to protect Salvadoran immigrants from other, more established gangs of Los Angeles, who were predominantly composed of Mexicans and African-Americans.[7]
Many Mara Salvatrucha gang members from the Los Angeles area have been deported after being arrested.[8] As a result of these deportations, members of MS have recruited more members in their home countries. The Los Angeles Times contends that deportation policies have contributed to the size and influence of the gang both in the United States and in Central America.[8] According to the 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment, "The gang is estimated to have 30,000 to 50,000 members and associate members worldwide, 8,000 to 10,000 of whom reside in the United States" [2].
In recent years the gang has expanded into the Washington, D.C. area, in particular the areas of Langley Park and Takoma Park near the Washington border have become centers of MS gang activity.[9] Their wide-ranging activities and elevated status has even caught the eye of the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who recently initiated wide-scale raids against known and suspected gang members netting hundreds of arrests across the country.TAKE THE BEAM OUT OF YOUR OWN EYE<
