The businesses flocking there in droves are the evidence of the renaissance

Denial is a river in Egypt and a trait of many on Free Republic

[Henri Gaudier-Brzeska]

Business does not equate to a renaissance. Your confusing money with values and culture.

Islam is an ideology disguised as a religion and a cancer on the earth.

Businesses always flock where the money is. And as long as the oil is flowing they will continue to flock there. But when the oil drys up... they will flee in droves and these cities will crumble back into the deserts from which they sprang.

Here is what will happen:

1 - When they oil in the middle east eventually runs out (and it will)

2 - The middle class and poor of the country will rise up and demand that the rich pay more in taxes to support the level of services they have become accustomed to which have to that point been paid for with oil revenue.

3 - The rich will then flee in mass and take their money with them.

4 - The economy will crumble and the infrastructure that maintains these cities will deteriorate.

5 - civil/religious wars will break out and these shinning cities will crumble back into the desert or be destroyed in the ensuing carnage.

6 - 10’s of millions will die in the ensuing chaos.

7 - some future telethon will encourage our children to give to the poor and needy of Saudi Arabia.
