#1 "The tomb also includes a minaret which shines a laser beam towards Jerusalem"
With any luck, it will attract a lightning strike.

#3 The mausoleum complex cost $2m (£1m) to build and includes a mosque.

So it has a toilet and a bidet.

#5 And an 11x11 meter video screen that plays a loop of the Hamas sex tape featuring Arafat and his "adviser".

#7 A much better way to spend American tax dollars than for "armed wing" double dipper salaries... or Kassem rocket parts. I highly approve. If the locals spend all their dowry money on souvenir doodads instead of AK-47 bullets and more rocket parts, I'll approve even more. In fact, I think they should build more monuments to Fatah, Hamas and other worthies. First the ones who died nobly, then pro-actively for the ones who haven't died yet -- to make sure they'll be happy when they take a break from their virgins to look down from Paradise. Was it Ramses II who had to build a couple of pyramids before he got it just the way he wanted it? (Thank goodness he ruled for two generations!)

#8 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has unveiled a mausoleum to former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in the West Bank town of Ramallah.

Proof of Abbas' moral bankruptcy but we all knew that.
