As oil revenue declines I think there will be a move towards extremism. Muslims have an unfair tendency to blame non-muslims for their problems so any economic plan that prevents a lowering of living standards can only be a good thing. However rich extremist Saudi Arabian's have contributed to terrorist groups financially so its hard to know which way it will go. If they are poorer they become more extreme but have less money to pay for terrorism. If they are richer they aren't as extreme but it is easier to fund terrorism. It's probably a no-win scenario for the west.
