I came across mention and the link to the storyteller from squidpup in the discussion about the new proposed tallest tower, No one replied about this proposed giant talking statue but it sounded vaguely familiar, as if it is mentioned in Bible prophecy so I turned to Revelations 13 :14-15.

14. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast ,telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life (Islam). 15 And there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast , that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

looking a little bit into this storyteller, it sounds as if this talking and moving storyteller will become a major muslim attraction and they have not yet announced what will be in the golden head cavity, some speculation possibly a disco tech. From my limited observations I cant see many muslims dancing. The next verses go on to say that every one is given a mark on their right hand or their forehead, and you can not buy or sell without this mark. I amused myself by imagining the mark will be like a handstamp that you receive when you go into a amusement park or event, but in reality this mark will show your loyalty to the AC.

By the way this is my first post and I love the site.
