How are people of other faiths viewed in Saudi Arabia? How is mysticism, and more specifically Sufism viewed in Saudi Arabia? --is it at all common for westerners to visit Saudi Arabia as tourists, and if so, how are they viewed/treated in Saudi Arabia? --could you descibe more about how the Islamic police system works in enforcing Islamic Law? How is this viewed by Saudis... is it seen as oppressive? as comforting? --is there an enforced dress code in Saudi Arabia-- or a socially expected one? I know in parts of the Middle East it is expected for men to have short hair and beards, etc. how does Saudi Arabia compare with the rest of the Islamic world in this regard?
