Saudi Arabia says that calls for internationalization of holy sites 'a declaration of war'

Apparently even Muslims can't get along with each other! Earlier this year Saudi Arabia cut ties with the small Islamic nation of Qatar. Why? Among other reasons, but this one being the biggest, Qatar's suggestion that "Islamic holy sites," become 'internationalized.'

According to Saudi Arabia this 'suggestion' is the equivalent of an 'act of war!'

So, along with other Islamic countries, the Saudis are making these demands, before any further dialogue can even continue. These demands are,
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain previously issued a list of 13 demands for Qatar, which included curtailing its support for the Muslim Brotherhood, shutting down the Doha-based Al Jazeera channel, closing a Turkish military base and downgrading its relations with Gulf enemy Iran. - Reuters
For those who don't follow geo-politics, there is a 'power struggle' happening in the Middle East going on between Iran and Saudi Arabia, with each nation vying to the 'the' dominant power in the region.

While I opposed President Trump's visit (or any acknowledgment for that matter) of Saudi Arabia- until that nation addresses its own "human rights violations," (same goes for China) nonetheless Trump traveled there not long ago to make a huge arms deal with the very country who was blamed for being behind the 9/11 attacks.

At the very least 13 of the 19 'alleged' hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, IF you even believe the official story about 9/11 as told by the US government. I have NEVER 'bought into' this narrative! There are just far too many more questions, than there are answers. And there are far too many more anomalies to list here.
