"Designing this Mosque doesn’t have a correlation with meaning and identity," the architects added.According to a local newspaper, Mashregh News, the newspaper described the building as "a mosque sacrificed for the City theatre," by adding that it had been "decapitated in the honour of the theatre". The newspaper added that: It was "an insulting, postmodern design" that is "empty of any meaning."
