Default Let me see if I have this straight...

They build a gaudy copy of Big Ben and somehow expect that people will see it, think "Ooooh, beautiful clock" and then change a convention that's what, a couple of centuries old?

That's - really, really silly. Pure cargo cult.

You're proposing to go to Saudi and build a synagogue and church?

Unfortunately I am on the Saudi no fly list so I can't personally go.
Anyway the comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
The same applies for this one as well.
