Supporters of Saudi Arabia argue the kingdom, as guardian of Islam's holiest sites, denies any role in 9/11 and maintains its innocence rests on the principle that guilt requires evidence, not accusation.
Supporters of Saudi Arabia counter that Islamic law holds each soul accountable before God alone, and that accusing a nation absent definitive proof risks the grave sin of false witness, which the Quran forbids.
