They are not mired in the 6th centuary.
They possess the tallest building in the world.

That’s exactly the problem.
A primitive, barbarian mindset, clubbed with modern means and amenities, when added to secular tolerance, proves a deadly mixture.

They possess it because they had the money to pay for it. Muslims neither designed nor built it (from a project managerial stand point - of course they provided labor); Burj Khalifa was contracted out to western engineering firms.
Call it one of the spoils of war, a product of the greatest mass transfer of wealth in the history of mankind. Although, to Dubai's credit, some but not all of said wealth was created by ways other than drilling a hole in the ground.
BTW, kudos for your work with the American Chestnut - absolutely lovely tree and beautiful wood to work with.
