What blows my mind about this building is that it will be the second tallest building in the world. (Only Burj Du-why will be taller.)

Updates, please, especially since I will never see this building in person.

as a Muslim
we do not idolized anything. not idols, statue, pictures, or any particular building.
even though this the Masjid al-Haram (The Sacred Mosque) of Mecca, but we Muslims don't worship The Sacred Mosque.
its like your going to worship the Mosque than worshiping God.

Here's a question: if ONLY Muslims are allowed inside Mecca, are all those construction workers Muslim? There's no way in hell that is possible, so exceptions had to have been made.

Why couldn't they all be Muslim? Did they bring in professionals from non-Muslim countries?

Thanks Dylan. It seems the progress is pretty slow on those high rise buildings there.
