Saudi Arabia does some of the same things that most Americans hate Muslims for such as:

Because Saudi Arabia gives us oil.

Oil.

But it looks like you answered your own question earlier in this thread.

Who said Americans despise Muslims?

Some Americans do.
Some Americans believe in UFOs
Some Americans believe in Bigfoot
Some Americans support capital punishment
Some Americans sleep on park benches
Some Americans look up to Sofia Vergara

It is what it is. S.A. Is a geopolitical ally holdover from the Cold War (and investments pre WW2) that, for the bad, has proved useful at times. It's not a perfect, equal, or always healthy relationship. But it's a relationship we have yet to sever as that decision is made far above any CD posters influence on the national stage.

I'm still trying to figure out why Pakistan isn't a giant crater. I have no use for the middle-east, period.

And they don't 'give us oil'. You do realize the US is the largest producer in the world?

That speaks volumes as to WHY. WHY does Saudi Arabia REFUSE to take in any refugees? WHY does Saudi Arabia help ISIS? WHY is Saudi Arabia helping terrorists in Yemen with the US's help? because it helps Israel.
