2. Why is this again framed as "fear" by KSA rather than an aggressive strategy of religious warfare?

It's curious that the terms Jihadi, Salaafist, and extremist are often applied to the Sunni militants the Saudis support, yet it is never seen in the corporate media to describe the character of the Royal Family, itself?

Why is that? Are they simply too rich to be described as dangerous, or are they actually so rich and dangerous that we dare not provoke them?
