The Guardians of the Two Holy Places have no taste; the damage they have done to Mecca can, however, be considered by those who dislike Islam to be a good thing, for their buildings, each more hideous than the next, mock and diminish the solemnity of the Hajj and the walking widdershins round that Magic Wonderstone, itself now put permanently in the shade thanks to so many light-blocking looming luminaries of architectural mauvais goût.

The Saudis are somewhat like the “Beverly Hillbillies”. They are rubes who lucked into an oil fortune, ignoramuses with bad taste. They lack the funny charm and kindness of the TV sitcom family, however. Given the cruelty of their Sharia justice, a more appropriate representation for them might be “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”.
