Not the Saudi's as a nation (Although they do fund extremist Madrassas,
whose students have become terrorists in a number of nations, including
many of the foreign-born terrorists now operating in Iraq and they were
the backbone of the Taliban), but you might note that one of the major
Wahabbi extremist leaders is a guy named Osama Bin Laden. They were also
a major funder of the Taliban (Who were Wahabbist, and portions thereof
did invade Afghanistan to impose Sharia, much of the Taliban was/is
actually Pakistani). Saudi's are also major funders of extremist Islamic
groups worldwide, and Saudi funded groups actively promote both violence
and imposition of Sharia wherever they are found (And they are heavily
active in the UK, and to a lesser extent in the US).
Note that I blamed the Wahabbists, not the Saudi's. The Saudi's are
mainly Wahabbist Sunni (but not entirely, there is a notable, and
heavily oppressed, Shia minority in Saudi Arabia) and are probably the
#1 funder of Sunni Islamic Terrorist groups. They aren't the only major
Islamic 'denominatio' seeking to impose Sharia on the world, but they
are certainly the most active (the Shia groups seem more interested in
imposing Sharia on their own countries).
