Do Shiites hate Saudi Arabia?

They hate Saudi family [Ibn Saud and his progeny] not Saudi Arabia, per se. Shiites hate Wahhabism (the movement of Sunni Islam that has official promotion in Saudi Arabia), not Arab people, because Wahhabism claims that Shiites are deviants from Islam and are a corrupted Jewish sect. This is untrue, since Shiites follow Islam from the time of Prophet Muhammad through his family (the sons and grandsons of his only daughter, Fatimah). Additionally, the Saudi government supports the persecution of Saudi Shiites and the destruction of their mosques.
