Does Saudi Arabia populace consists of Shiites and Sunnis too?
If you refer to the following diagram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Musli… … you can see that majority of Shiites (Shia) are located in Iran with a small minority in Saudi Arabia. Sunni Muslims are by far the largest denomination of Islam. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic monarchy and the Government has declared the Qur’an and the Sunnah (tradition) of Muhammad to be the country’s Constitution. Freedom of religion is severely limited. Islam is the official religion, and all citizens must be Muslims. The Government prohibits the public practice of other religions. The Government bases its legitimacy on governance according to the precepts of the rigorously conservative and strict interpretation of the Salafi or Wahhabi school of the SUNNI branch of Islam and discriminates against other branches of Islam. Neither the Government nor society in general accepts the concepts of separation of religion
