That's like judging all Christians by the KKK.

Yeah great point, a bunch of buildings built with U.S. technologies designed by U.S. educated architects sitting on an ocean front dominated by sailboats. Thanks for proving my point.

Wow...what an assload of erroneous assumptions.

"Dubai has a rich collection of buildings and structures of various architectural styles. Many modern interpretations of Islamic architecture can be found here, due to a boom in construction and architectural innovation in the Arab World in general, and in Dubai in particular, supported not only by top Arab or international architectural and engineering design firms such as Al Hashemi and Aedas, but also by top firms of New York and Chicago.[101] As a result of this boom, modern Islamic – and world – architecture has literally been taken to new levels in skyscraper building design and technology. Dubai now boasts more completed or topped-out skyscrapers higher than 2/3 km, 1/3 km, or 1/4 km than any other city. A culmination point was reached in 2010 with the completion of the Burj Khalifa (Khalifa Tower), now by far the world's tallest building at 829.84 m (2,722.57 ft). The Burj Khalifa's design is derived from the patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, with the triple-lobed footprint of the building based on an abstracted version of the desert flower hymenocallis which is native to the Dubai region.[102] The completion of the Khalifa Tower, following the construction boom that began in the 1980s, accelerated in the 1990s, and took on a rapid pace of construction unparalled in modern human history during the decade of the 2000s, leaves Dubai with the world's tallest skyline as of 4 January 2010."

What part of their architecture is influencing world construction went over your head?

To review:

I know you think that they are all eating goats and living in caves but...the problem here is that you're ignorant.

Hey, when ur done here are you going to /wrist or jerk off to Blues Clues?

I didn't know fancy building design was the new benchmark for civility. Afk raping a preteen boy and building a really impressive Lincoln log structure

Something else you apparently don't know is the difference between civility and civilized.

A dictionary might clear that up. Prolly not in your case...I suspect context will trip your little pointy head up right quick.

Your inability to grasp what civilization means might retard you even further.

"After thousands of years as a hunter/gatherer, man built the first cities 5,000 years ago on the banks of the Euphrates River. Civilization as we know it began with the glorious cultures of Ur, Nineveh, and Babylon."

Seriously, they have a ruling class that makes pretty buildings based on US technologies and designed by people educated in the U.S., and he holds that up as proof of civilization when the rest of the population is illiterate and lives like this:

They definitely have the right approach towards women though

Look son I'm feeling kind of sorry for you now. I know you THINK you're doing it correctly but that isn't the case.

Go back to your little carebear board and get some advice or at least some other posters to come over. That way you can try to hide your noob feathers in a forest of lame.

I see what he's saying now. Who could really fault a society that is structured entirely upon a religion founded by a philandering child molester? ISO 9 year old bride.
