ROFL at the comparison! And the arabs will say "what happens in Mecca stays in Mecca".. Nah!
On a serious note then I agree with Ghazalz. Modernization of a city isn't un Islamic and these sites are not been destroyed for un Islamic reasons but simply to prevent and stop the practice of shirk becoming widespread. This was what our Prophet, His sahabah, and the pious predecesors wanted and established in this sacred city. And that is by far the "landmark"of Mecca most worthy of preserving!
