Mecca Royal Clock Hotel Tower = Hideous Joke

Do you want to know about Saudi Arabia and Islam? Just have a look at the Mecca Royal Clock Hotel Tower. Not even the Soviets' with their hammer handed architecture could have dreamed up this hideous monstrosity and insult to elegance. They scaled up Big Ben to 2000 feet (second tallest structure in the world) and made it into a seven star super posh hotel. But it gets worse, much worse. It over hangs the Masjid al-Haram, the holiest site in islam!

Saudis sit in their 5000 dollar a night super luxury air-conditioned rooms sipping on chocolate ice cream sodas as they look down on pilgrims staggering around the Kaaba in one hundred plus degree heat. The pilgrims are dressed in simple white robes to signify poverty and equality but are watched from far above by people who call up room serves to nibbling on the world’s finest caviar and the best food from all over the world. The pilgrims often pass out or vomit from the intense heat, but hey, the hajj was never meant to be easy.

It is the religious duty of every able bodies muslim to make the hajj at least ones in their lives. But the question is, how do you afford it? The Saudis have turned the hajj into a money making enterprise and even for that they needed western help. Non-muslims from Fairmont Hotels based in Canada administer the big clock tower and you can bet they take their cut. Some of them are even Jewish! Just check it out on the internet. Everything I’ve said is true.
