Non of the sides has a "cause", though they use two different causes as weapons against each other.
The Crown Prince is moving towards Secularism; he is giving Wahhabies a very hard time (actually he's killing them along with their institutions- he allowed women to drive after a century of banning; he suppressed religious celebrations and began to introduce musical concerts instead...etc.) And believe it or not; these were red lines for the conservative Wahhabi: women driving was more than a disaster.

But that cause he claims to hold is a mere card to purge the any oppression.
So the charge is ready if he decided to wack you: you become a terrorist and you get killed.
The other side, which is many of his cousins and other family member, did not show the cause they will advocate just yet. Personally; I think it will be Wahhabism.
It makes sense now for them to hold the Wahhabi banner (just like their grandfather) to win Trump/ Ibn Salman deadly alliance.
