"How dare they spend all this money on their Mosque, while the people are so poor?" was the main complaint. <BR/><BR/>So I turned on them and said, "It is no different than the Catholic Church - the Vatican is the richest city in the world, with the greatest collection of artwork. It is no different than the mega-churches of various Christian sects. It is no different than affluent synagogues. Why do you, how can you, accept it in those religions but decry this display in a Mosque?" <BR/><BR/>So, by this time, they were staring at me, dumbfounded. There were six of them, off my cruise ship, and they just started muttering and looking at each other. I pulled myself up to my full 5'4" self and said, "Oh, of course. They're A-rabs. Towel heads. Turrists." and turned on my heel and walked away before I slapped one of them.<BR/><BR/>Unfrickingbelievable.
