    Default Islamic Architecture Thread

    Post any and all cool Islamic architecture. Just being built by Muslims does not make something Islamic, it must hold a religious purpose.

    A lot of the relatively modern mosques look pretty ugly, like they were just made from cheap concrete slabs.

    I think the Mosque of Damascus is a masterpiece.



    BTW if you are in Shanghai, you should go to the Pudong mosque.

    Or you can take the bullet train to Nanjing, about an hour ride for more historic mosques.

    Luckily I'm not a man, so I'm not required to go to the Masjid. I havent gone to any since I have been here. I'll check it out though, I have all day tomorrow free.
