I answered once, but then went out and found something so definitive
that even you couldn't deny it.  This is from the Web site of the
Royal Saudi Embassy, talking about the foundations of the Saudi
Arabian government:

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a monarchy with a political system
    rooted in Islam's cherished traditions and rich culture. Its rules
    and regulations are governed by the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah
    (teachings and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) which call for
    peace, justice, equality, consultation and respect for the rights
    of the individual.

    Since the beginning of the first Saudi state in the 18th century
    through the founding of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the
    late King Abdulaziz bin Abdelrahman Al-Saud on September 23, 1932,
    the Shari'ah (Islamic law) has been the pillar and source of Saudi
    Arabia's basic system of government. It identifies the nature of
    the state and its goals and responsibilities, as well as the
    relationship between the government and its citizens.

There you have it -- Islamic law is the "pillar and source of Saudi
Arabia's basic system of government."  Is there any question in your
mind now that Saudi Arabia is an Islamic nation that follows Islamic
law?

With that in mind, is there any way you can deny that what I gave
before was precisely an example of "an Islamic law nation ... that
condemned and or prosecuted another Muslim for terrorists acts against
a non-Muslim person or nation" (those are precisely the words you used
in your posting).   The fact is that there are MANY examples of
this, and I only gave you a few.  Why do you persist in your denial?
