An American woman who had recently married a man from Saudi Arabia spoke to one of my history classes during my senior year of highschool. She passed around pictures of everyone posing around "the family gun." She talked about it like it was their watchdog.
This part of the world is of a medieval mindset with modern weapons and capabilities. There's
no way to erase millenia of religious, financial, racial, and political turmoil and convince these people to live and let live.
At least no way that doesn't make us easily as medieval and barbaric as the destructive minds we're trying to quell.
