I know I used to work for Dar Al Handasha (who designed that clock tower) and even as a non mulslim I think its a shocking way to treat they holy places.

In the west we do the same thing, e.g. just look at Niagra falls.

Better example might be the private Gettysburg National Tower that stood from 1974 to 2000: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5481/11078991455_f4ebf6ffc0_b....

We haven't knocked down Stonehenge or the church of the holy nativity in Bethlehem.

To build the tower I believe they demolished the prophets mothers house!
