But they don't condemn the dominant religion in US & UK, unlike the hypocrites who deny the lsamic-ness of Dubai.
No, that's because those places are peaceful and they don't support, condole terrorism or killing pple because of religion

Viktoreze:
Basic explanation -- in the sentence "The building of this building was complicated." you are using two different forms. Though they look they same, they are used differently and have different meanings, and in fact, different origins. (Though both forms are created from the same root verb, "build", the suffixes were originally different and did different things.)

Actually, this sort of thing is not very unusual at all, as you may be able to see from the examples I list at the very end of my answer. (And, since other languages do the same sort of thing, it is NOT evidence of English being strange.)

More important, speakers of English are seldom if ever confused by these distinct uses (which is what really matters) anymore than they are by such things as very different uses of "the same word". That's because the specific WAYS they are used in actual speech (not all alone, but combined with other words) make the intended form and meaning clear.
_____________________

DETAILS:

"this building" uses a noun referring to a concrete OBJECT, that can be counted

"the building of" uses what is essentially a verb form (specifically, a participle) to refer to an action that is in PROCESS; the fact that you THINK of some ACTION going on shows you that this is a verb.


The origins of these two (originally different) forms:

The NOUN form -- in Old English, the suffix -ung (sometimes -ing) was often used to create nouns. This exact ending is still seen in German nouns that end with -ung. The noun can relate to the original verb ("build"wink in several ways. Often it refers to something that is the RESULT of the process the verb refers to.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ung
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/phil/english/c...

There are MANY examples of such words in Modern English. Consider the following nouns which refer to objects which, like "building", are ordinarily NOT "in process" when we speak of them:

painting, dwelling, saying, writing, gathering, bedding, roofing, sacking, clothing, earnings

(There are other, related ways, that Old English formed nouns from verb roots. One of these is the suffix -(at)ion, such as: decision, isolation, explanation. Another is -ment: establishment.)


The VERB form -- in Old English, participles ended with -ende (a form still found in German).

In Middle English these forms fell together. That is, both the participle and noun ends became "-ing". In fact, the use of this form in expressions like "the building of" is a LATE development (whereas "building" as an object is a very old sort of form).
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node...

For the distinction in the suffixes, see Webster's (1913)
http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=261832
__________________

Note that it is actually quite common for suffixes that look exactly the same to be used in different parts of a language to carry out different functions. This is not usually a problem and should not confuse speakers because the WAY the forms are used in sentences makes it clear which form is meant. Most of the following cases are things you see/hear every day:

-(e)r -- turns a verb into a agentive noun ("maker", "hitter"wink
OR for the comparative form of an adjective ("bigger"wink

-(e)s -- a singular present tense verb ending [originally -eth, as in King James "cometh] ("he hits"wink
OR to make a plural noun form ("hits"wink
OR (with an apostrophe) to form a possessive

-(e)st -- old ending for verb forms (2nd singular) such as "thou makest"
OR for superlative of adjectives ("finest"wink

-y -- to form a diminutive ("Timmy"wink
OR to form adjectives from nouns ("funny"wink
thanks for coming up with this long explanations, actually I know but just asking rhetorically

May the Lord strengthen you to walk through the valleys of this month with grace. May He grant you the courage to shoulder your responsibilities with candour and enjoy the blessings with humility. May the Lord who knows the end from the beginning make every crooked way smooth for you and May he bestow upon you the divine peace and wisdom which will enable you to smile through the trials for they are not "problems" as the rest of the world thinks but stepping stones to the exalted position that the Almighty has prepared for you.

I wish you a Happy New month, remain blessed.
