Do you get the feeling this is the beginning of a sustained campaign of such bombings?

Isis claims responsibility for second Saudi Arabia suicide bombing | World news | The Guardian
This quote struck a chord:

“The perpetrators of these murderous acts are driven by an insane ideology disseminated by self-appointed clerics and reformers,” commented the Jeddah-based writer Khaled Al-Maeena. “For too long, we have kept quiet as they used the mosques, the media and other forms of communication to spread their evil philosophy. We … watched silently as some imams spewed hatred and spread falsehood about Muslims of other sects. These illiterate bigots should have been advised to shut up. We should not have remained silent and passive allowing their hatred to continue giving them the opportunity to manipulate the minds of many.”

Difficult to know where to begin...

Khaled Al-Meena, Editor of Arab News is often right.

This business has been going on for generations. Remember the Siege of the Holy Mosque in Mecca ?

Yeah, but it was more about replacing the phrase "Muslims of other sects" with something else, and then viewing the quote in a broader context.
