But it is so beautiful. There must be a god………..And if Muslims built it, then it was the right thing to do. Simple, no?

I’m sure it should be “Impoverished”. Got to watch things like that or you’ll have the faithful vultures circling, after all they have no proper arguements against atheism so have to pick on the slightest thing.
Anyway, a huge starving population whilst the rich squander everything on vast monuments to god? sounds like England… in Norman times!

Monsterous ego project. Saleh reminds me of that prince in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who blew a fortune on a choc-o-palace that melted.

And so, by building this mosque, President Ali Abdullah Saleh is certain to live in heaven in his afterlife! Wait, there’s no afterlife.

Okay… And so, by building this mosque, President Ali Abdullah Saleh is certain to be remembered for generations! Wait, in 100 years virtually no one will know who the hell he is.

Let’s try this: And so, by building this mosque, President Ali Abdullah Saleh is certain to be loved and respected by the religious community. Except for the real whackos who will still want to kill him and those that actually teach sedition in this very building.

Why did he build this again?

Let them eat architecture? Hmmm. I think I’ve heard something like that before.
