Yeah, but being a MUSLIM is rather a prerequisite for receiving all this
largesse...


Not only muslim, but Saudi citizen. Most foreign workers in SA are
muslim, too and are treated equally bad (well, not equally, non-muslim
foreign workers have their work permit in mauve colour, while muslims
have it green, this way the muttawaa can easily tell if you're missing
your prayers or not).

Needless to say, there are not non-muslim Saudi citizens.
