Most human cultures build large towers to exalt themselves to the heavens and be equal to gods and God. This is not the western cultures fault. Most egostistical building designers want to get their monies worth by building a suitable structure that not only exalts their employer but also beats out their competition.

My friend, if the Arabian lands were not under American boots there would have developed and evolved a republic with some equitable system without illegitimate princeliness...how contradictory it is that west doesn't get tired of preaching democracy (even corrupt) in resource poor muslim states but  kingdoms or sheikdoms(profligate lackeys) in oil rich ones...what gives?

 It is not a question of blame rather it is fact... It all started when the sick man of Europe(Ottomans) fell and Muslim lands became a fair game of neocolonialism, don't  plead ignorance about this ... and that was 86 year ago to be exact!
Now about the tower the concentration of easy money in few hands creates this kind of monstrosities to show off, old India have examples galore cuz there one rule for prince and another for the pauper/commoner...This looks more like Las Vegas inspired in its gaudiness...
