The Wahhabist clerics that dominate Saudi Islam actively encourage the destruction of monuments and historical sites because of their extreme fixation on iconoclasm. The House of Saud, of course, it only too happy to oblige them.

Even if I could accept the Wahhabist's perception, iconoclasm doesn't work if you replace the stuff you destroy with much larger monuments to yourself.

There’s no joke, I just think it’s funny that the patch is a crude rendition of City Hall or whatever that office building is. It’s so uninspiring that it’s sublime.

One of my dorkier hobbies is looking up major monuments/historical sites on Google street view, and then finding the shortest walk to an American fast food restaurant. There is a KFC directly across from the pyramids, a McDonald’s right next to the Tower of London, and I believe it was a Baskin Robbins I found below the Louvre.

But Mecca has become a shrine to capitalism more than a religions most holy site.



Not Pictured: A myriad of historical sites dating to the dawn of Islam and Pre-islamic times.
Because they were all torn down for this crap


Fun Fact! One of the signs of the Islamic end of days is that 'Shepherds will compete in building ever taller buildings', the shepherds in question are understood and accepted to refer to Arabs!

My favorite weird thing about Mecca is the fact that they preserved two sizable rocky hills inside their giant Las Vegas casino complex, so the hills are now fully indoors and flanked by terrible mall architecture.

The worst example I know of this is in Boston. The "Freedom Trail" of sites in town includes "The Old Corner Bookstore".

Here it is:


No, not behind the Chipotle. It IS the Chipotle.

It's also across the street from the single greatest monument mankind has ever created:

That's the old Town Hall - pretty much the fanciest building in town.

Look at what's peeking out under the lintel of the main door :(
