They have already banned the Salafi creed (the Salafi and Wahabis are similar in nature, they are the official religion of Saudi Arabia).

The less indoctrination of children the better.Break the cycle of hate between religions and find more humane ways to spend money than "fighting for their Gods" stupidity probably the majority of the world thinks this but because of tradition ,culture etc don't like to be seen not going along with the crowd.
