Saudi Arabia is the country of origin for the prophet Muhammad. It was called the Arabian peninsula at that time. Muhammad was the founder of Islam which originated in Medina and Mecca, two of the biggest cities in Saudi Arabia. Islam was spread there from to the whole world. Furthermore, no none Muslim citizens are allowed in Saudi Arabia. All Saudi Arabia citizens must be Muslims.

Officially Muslims make up 99% of the population of Saudi Arabia, but based upon the size of the expatriate community, an estimate of 96% is probably correct.
Today 80% of Saudi Arabians live in urban zones. The population is divided into Arabs and Bedouins.
The division lines between the peoples of Saudi Arabia are more cultural than ethnical. There are division between "native" Arabs (56%), other Arabs and Bedouins (27%), while these groups in other Arab countries are counted as one people. "Native" Arabs are the people of central and western Arabia (Najd and Hijaz), while other Arabs are people originating from the fringes of today's Saudi Arabia, as well as immigrants from other Arab countries.
Bedouins are both the people keeping up nomadic lifestyles, and those with close origin to ancestors living as nomads. Foreign workers are making up 18%, and consists of "other" Arabs, Africans and Asians, as well as a minor group of Europeans and Americans.
While there are some Shi'is living in the east of the country (about 15%) Saudi Arabia is principally Sunni Muslim, keeping up the Hanbali school of Sharia, as this was understood by the Wahhabis, the religiously dominant group of central Arabia from the 18th century, but which today is no longer a force. A clear majority of the foreign workers are also Muslims, coming from Asia and other Arab countries.

Saudi Arabia is a Middle East country.
All the middle east counties and a few countries to their east like Iran,Iraq and Afghanistan are Islamic.

Darn tootin it is!
In fact, it's so Islamic, that if you are caught with a Bible, they'll throw you in JAIL!
It's so Islamic, they actually have a special branch of government called the Religious Police!
Don't you DARE believe in anything other than Islam in Saudi Arabia. It could put your life in danger.

Peace!

Yes, it is an Islamic country, but even Muslims agree it is the most corrupt nation (maybe besides America...) in the world. Oil dominates everything.
