Dear Joyesmith, buildings are and have always been the central part of religion. Manys wars have been foughts because of buildings – In India the case of Ayodhya temple and Babri masjid is all about building. So how can you say it is absurd. I am sure that this building is committed to Christ with the symbol attached to it and it will draw many to His kingdom. The Cross may be offensive to many but it is a symbol of salvation. The message of the cross is a stumbling block to some (1 Corinthians 1:23; Galatians 5:11)

I have really enjoyed reading all comments. I can only say that this is doen in God’s will and He allowed this so that people in teh dark may see the Light. If they refuse to see it, then it is their problem. Jesus would never bring anyone to Kingdom of god by force. he has given us all free will, so that we can make our own decision. I am sure that many have seen light and have come to Christ by seeing light of this cross. It may be God’s Grace that when Dubai was going through financial crisis, it did not collapse all together – some good has saved this wonderful city. It could be this largest cross overlooking the city from the sea.

It looks really absurd and childish to talk something about religion on any building

Well Forgiven… Sorry that you put your trust in Jesus..seems Jesus gets all the glory when its God who does all the work! Anyway, if you really a follower of Jesus why then do you not do like Jesus did?? Jesus did not eat pork, Jesus does not drink liquor, Jesus prostates himself when praying..Jesus was circumcised…Why…Why do you not follow Jesus but instead follow that enemy of Jesus…Paul aka Saul?? Paul was the one who claimed the divinity of Jesus, allows drinking of liquor & eating of pork etc etc all the stuft that modern christianity had been blindly following. Ask yourself then…Are you a follower of Jesus or are you a follower of Paul? Jesus throughout claimed to be a son of men, never once did he claimed to be son of God. Can you show me anywhere in the Bible that Jesus said he was the son of God?? You know (that if assuming you know your bible well and depending on which hundreds of version of the bible you follow – there is only ONE QURAN….Praise be to Allah!)

Well, I am not from UAE. But I kinda suspect that the symbol looks like a cross. It is not Anti-Muslim anyway. But it represents the greatest love of God and His perfect holiness. I put my trust in Jesus who paid for my sins on the cross and i am forgiven. I will live eternally with God because of Jesus’ cross and I invite you all to put your trust in Jesus. The architect might never have intended it. But now all the people of the world has a chance
