I'm not so sure about Osama being much of black sheep. He took a different career path, certainly, but according to an ex-wife of one of the bin Laden clansmen, that "disowning" was entirely for appearance's sake. And as in the UAE, the Saudi's are big on using de facto slaves for labor (as well as sexual gratification), drawn from the kuffar and lesser races, of course. Likewise their financial elite share a predisposition towards funding terrorist organizations, the establishing of mosques to seek converts and fire up backsliders both in the West and in largely agnostic, only nominally Muslim nations, not mention those wonderful documentaries we see and literature we read on the glory of "Islamic contributions" to science and civilization, or on how Submission means Peace.
