Can you imagine being stuck on the zillionth floor without power or water? Or, in a fire? Why build something vulnerable to all sorts of natural and man-made disasters? It would be a huge target. What is the point? Mine is bigger than yours?

That would be a sight but I wonder, they have money for this but not their Muslim brothers in Syria.

If oil prices stay below $50, the CIA predicts Saudi Arabia will be bankrupt within 5 years.

Perhaps they should consider other uses for their money before trophy skyscrapers and hookers for their thousands of princes

Here is what God of Israel says to the Arabians (sons of Edom) about their oil financed towers...

Malachi 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say , Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, 3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 4 Whereas Edom saith , We are impoverished , but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build , but I will throw down ; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. 5 And your eyes shall see , and ye shall say , The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.

Agree I think it is the inbreeding that is interfering with logical thinking.

I do not want to offend anyone on here but F**k em, what have they done for us, they have been nothing but trouble since 1990 and we helped them, should have let Saddam have the place.

they have money for this but not their Muslim brothers in Syria......They do NOT see them as brothers. If a country is Shiia, they want to get rid of Sunnis. If Sunnis they want to get rid of Shiia’s. As an American, I want to get rid of Muslims. I always cut to the chase.
