I'm not sure about their current leaders as I don't think they're as religious as their longtime leaders but they are the founders of Wahabbism an ultraconservative Sunni sect that is about as old as the United States. Anyways, they pretty much discriminate against anyone they don't consider a "real" Muslim and that includes the Shia in Iran and in their own country as well as other countries such as Yemen.

Based on this thread the episode seems worth watching. I heard earlier that the Saudis were encouraging Trump to go further in their war against Iran.
