Thank you Mirch, we really need to hear more comments like this.

I fail to understand why we don’t appreciate some good effort made by our muslim brothers and sisters. When we talk about the only 7 star hotel in the world, we start dissing sheikhs and dubai … when we talk about the multi-billion dollar international university, KAUST, we start dissing KSA and its King, instead of being proud of the fact that the middle east is advancing… The Big Ben is an international tourist attraction, and now that KSA has built such a complex structure, we still won’t appreciate it as an architectural masterpiece but instead we’d like to diss the saudis, the cost and what not …

The Big Ben is an International Tourist Attraction located in London, and Makkah is not.

Makkah is a religious place and building such a monstrosity near the Kabah is the height of stupidity.

You don’t see a massive skyscraper in the Vatican do you?

The Saudis tore down a mountain, destroyed a 200 year old Turkish fort to build this thing.
