The word "freedom" is what is missing. The [Saudi] government control over the religion and understanding of Islam is the [[International propagation of Salafism and Wahhabism|core cause of extremism]] in the country. The faith of Islam has been used by the government as a political tool to oppress reformers, critics, and opponents. Saudi Arabia is a glaring example of [[religious apartheid]]. The religious institutions extending from government clerics, judges, religious curriculums, and to all religious instructions in media are restricted to the Wahhabi understanding of Islam, adhered to by less than 40% of the population.}}</ref>
