BMI are you off your collective trolley?

BMI have this little note at the bottom of their baggage advice page:
"Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam: Safety regulations affecting the carriage of liquids in hand baggage are in place at Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam airports in line with current UK regulations. No liquids exceeding 100 ml may be carried in hand baggage.
Saudi Arabia - UK: Up to 10 litres of holy water in a single container (shrink wrapped and secure) is permitted as hold baggage to the UK in addition to normal allowance. The holy water container cannot be carried as hand baggage."
So 10 litres of a liquid denoted as "holy water" can be carried in the hold by passengers travelling from Saudi Arabia to the UK on BMI planes. Could someone remind me what nationality all of the 9/11 mass murdering Jihadi terrorists were? Could someone remind me what country exports Wahhabi ideology around the world and funds the teaching of Wahhabism in the UK, US and elsewhere?

I wouldn't feel safe flying on a plane from Saudi to the UK with litres of "holy water" aboard surrounded by "secure" packaging. Mind you I am pretty sure that the Saudis would not let me into their Country anyway, on account of me being a "Red Sea pedestrian".
