>Juhayman ibn Muhammad ibn Sayf al-Otaybi (Arabic: جهيمان بن محمد بن سيف العتيبي 16 September 1936[1][2] – 9 January 1980) was a Saudi militant and soldier who in 1979 led the Grand Mosque seizure of the Great Mosque of Mecca, Saudi Arabia's holiest mosque, to protest against the Saudi monarchy.
>Juhayman said that his justification for the siege was that the House of Saud had lost its legitimacy through corruption and imitation of the West, an echo of his father's charge in 1921 against former Saudi king Ibn Saud. Unlike earlier anti-monarchist dissidents in the kingdom, attacked the Saudi ulama for failing to protest against policies that betrayed Islam, and accused them of accepting the rule of an infidel state and offering loyalty to corrupt rulers in "exchange for honours and riches."[3]
>On 20 November 1979, the first day of the Islamic year 1400, the Great Mosque of Mecca was seized by a well-organized group of 400 to 500 men under al-Otaybi's leadership.[4] A siege lasted more than two weeks before Saudi special forces broke into the mosque.[4] French Special Forces provided a special tear gas (CS gas) which prevents aggressiveness and slows down breathing.[4] Al-Otaybi was executed by the Saudi authorities, in public, on 9 January 1980, in Mecca.

giga-reactionary nutcase. the saudis doubled down on theocracy after they killed him and his gang to increase their control of the religious population and avoid what went down with the shahs in Iran.

If his Putsch had somehow succeeded the sect he was part of (The Ikhwahn) would have basically tried to make Saudi Arabia look like the Rashidun Caliphate.
Which would have basically meant pol-potting Saudi 'Civilisation' until it was even more backwords and reactionary then it actually is rn IRL.
On the plus side since they literally thought that everyone should be a goat herding pastoralist they probably would have blown the oilwells for being heathen decadence and crashed the planets oil market, which would have been fun.
