Holy land architecture

[DanielS]

Was very surprised by this Guardian article about some of the construction going on in Mecca. I'm no fan of any organised religion, but they do tend to do a good line in lovely looking old buildings and so finding out there is now a bloody great monstrosity looming over the haram Mosque is a bit depressing.

 

I don't want to come over all Prince Charles, but surely there should be some limits to the type of stuff you can throw up near an extremely sensitive cultural site?
