The Mecca Clock Royal Tower hotel is seen under construction topped by the world's biggest clockface as Muslims sit in the Grand Mosque in the Saudi city of Mecca. The clock is targeted to enter service with a three-month trial period in the first week of the holy month of Ramadan in early August 12, according to the nation's state news agency.

If some non-muslim flies a plane into that building and destroys it, will Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Scientologists, Satanists, Randians, Rastas... be permitted to construct a worship place within Mecca to express tolerance for followers of Islam and victims of the attack?
