That is so ugly, I don’t think it will see light as it will be seen as a statue of non believers from Mecca days, atleast that what the Islamists will say. Why Dubai should have the tallest, largest, biggest, whats next fattest? Not one medical or science research center!

I think it looks great. and I think it would be really cool for the children of Dubai to have this new friend. The book reading would probably go up in this category and the Zaabeel Park would get a great injection aswell.
If I had money I would build it myself!

Looks like Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen.
Anyways, as said by Ghassan Yonis it looks awful. Its nothing but a man made male figure. what is the use of having such a huge statue as a children’s library.

1. It’s too idiotically plain with no artistic value!
2. Isn’t that “haram” by Islamic laws! I know Dubai is not KSA, but still, didn’t any religious figure object to that!
