To prop up the opinion that Islam is stuck in the 9th Century?

I think they would do better to get a postal service first.

I'm fairly certain the UAE is Islamic in name only. They will be lucky if the jihadists don't blow it up.

I would like to see the United States build tall towers once again. I do not think it unreasonable to build skyscrapers a mile high. Let's do it.

The only place you can build a tall building is in the heart of Islam, because they will attack any others.

I say knock it down on priciple.

We can build them, I think a big concern is fire safety.

Well, I would put SAMs all around this thing and on top. Fly within a quarter mile and get shot down.

Probably not a lot to clean, it's not like it rains there or anything.
