This week has seen the beginning of the destruction of the Sheikha Salama Mosque. This mosque was built in honor of Sheikh Zayed's mother. I have some pre-destruction photos here if you are interested. Apparently a new mosque will being built in its place.

I'm shocked! I thought they were going to 'revamp' the existing one. It's a real shame, now there is no history left. Building something new, is not the same as preserving something old.
And if that something old isnt revamp-able? let people pray in an unsound structure?

good point!
History is not about couple of blocks built decades ago
I think BRN's picture is, in a way, itself historic (by which I mean a historical record). Nicely taken, too. The broken dome, lying on its side, is especially poignant. Good job, BRN.
