To save you the 5 minutes it would've taken you to make any reasonable statement:

Arabic is actually not Saudi Arabian, more Levantine/Mesopotamian, but hold up... Didn't Romans rule that area during Islam's start?

Yes, Arabs were conquered by the Roman Empire (Look Nabateans) and the Islamic Conquest in that region was basically the reclaiming of those lands, any further conquest actually doesn't come from Saudi Arabia, it comes from non-Arab dynasties.

Now the escalation begins. Soon the cops will be wearing plate mail and demon masks. Then the criminals will begin exploring polearms. By this time next year, we'll have clans fighting in the streets, the skies echoing with the thundering rapport of battle-worn nodachi shattering against lacquered tedate.
