Actually the Renaissance in Europe involved the resurgence in growth and learning that tempered the rigid shackles of the Roman Catholic Church. It involved the church but the growth in learning led to the exploration of the world and an explosion of business and trade.

The narrow religious bindings of which you speak were broken allowing expansion and growth of life. It was a Renaissance....

The buildings and resurgence in Dubai is like that in Florence, Venice and Rome hundreds of years ago.

I must have missed the breaking of the narrow religious
bindings of Islam...

You are truly delusional. There is nothing similar to the building in the middle east and the past Renaissance in Europe.
