In most other Islamic coutries you can't really have enough mosques, they are full 5 times a day and most of them on Fridays if you are a little late you have to pray in the street because the mosque would be full. p.s. what's a Bajram? Zmey July 28th, 2008, 03:44 PM ...... Zmey July 28th, 2008, 03:47 PM p.s. what's a Bajram? ramazanski Bajram - Edi ul Fitr Kurban Bajram - Eid ul Adha Btw. Kurban is the poor thing that pays by its head for our celebration. :D Jünyus Brütüs July 28th, 2008, 05:54 PM random style mosques around Turkey. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6236/bilal533416bursauludagcwj8.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4279/cagricamizr4.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8/ebruturhan60ow4.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/927/ugursurmelibuttimcmm8.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5907/kozyatagicami0519eq2.jpg http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6646/osmanuygunmermercamikurzx8.jpg Redalinho August 4th, 2008, 12:24 AM Mosque of Al Aqsa, Jerusalem, Palestine http://farm1.static.flickr.com/149/390491597_0f75892a34_b.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/151/388299660_e83c4b23b0_b.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1019/538353671_3ceff90d5f_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3041/2727474383_4a34181283_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/2728301692_4611f025b7_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3186/2727468341_2bbbb28b19_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2725063925_c4c4145614_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/2721866906_b63e0c217f_o.jpg Redalinho August 4th, 2008, 12:38 AM Schwetzinger Mosque , Germany http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2197/2255960310_bc5124d49c_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2412/2324711065_7b3a0ba4e9_o.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/5/8456153_d6e33ce5f9_o.jpg Turknology August 4th, 2008, 07:38 PM @ Kafkas, I don't like those new mosques springing up in Turkey that lack character (some of them remind me of new evangelical churches in the USA).

Libra August 5th, 2008, 01:27 AM @ Kafkas, I don't like those new mosques springing up in Turkey that lack character (some of them remind me of new evangelical churches in the USA). The neo-Byzantine and Baroque style Mosques in Turkey are much better. Although I agree that the historic mosques in Turkey are the best, some of those modern ones are kind of cute. I'd rather have completely modern ones or modern designs with some Turkish/Ottoman features than some of the ones that try to completely replicate the historic designs (Maltepe, Kocatepe, Sabanci mosques etc). Turknology August 5th, 2008, 07:17 PM ^^ I agree, same of the replicas are just cheep imitations, but I think some like the Kocatepe Mosque are nice examples of neo-Ottoman architecture. The modern ones which use too much glass I find tasteless, new mosques even if not built entirely on classical designs should retain some degree of traditional design in them.

The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Mughal and Moorish mosque architecture, the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore and the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca being direct influences. The dome layout and floorplan of the mosque was inspired by the Badshahi Mosque and the architecture was inspired by both Mughal and Moorish design, particularly the Badshahi Mosque and the Hassan II Mosque. Its archways are quintessentially Moorish and its minarets classically Arab. The design of the mosque can be best described as a fusion of Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture. The Mosque is large enough to accommodate 40,000 worshippers. The main prayer hall can accommodate up to 9,000 worshippers. Two rooms next to the main prayer hall, with a 1,500-capacity each, are for the exclusive use of women. There are four minarets on the four corners of the mosque which rise about 115 m (380 ft) in height. There are 57 domes covering the outside yard and the main building as well. The domes are decorated with white marble and the interior decoration is made of marble. The courtyard is paved with floral marble designs and measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft). http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3493/3731698053_65d691382b_b.jpg par ZameenZahari (http://www.flickr.com/photos/zameen/) alam July 18th, 2009, 09:39 PM WoW...Tunisia as some the most beautiful mosques indeed!! alam July 21st, 2009, 10:00 AM Masjid Agung AN-Nur *Pekanbaru - SUmatra - Indonesia http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2035/1964609092_60eefe1d1b_b.jpg CARACAS, VENEZUELA http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/2413/mezquita.JPG http://www.mipunto.com/venezuelavirtual/galeria_fotos/caracas/images/430_venezuela_caracas_distritocapital_loscaobos_mezquita_ibrahimal_ibrahim.gif East London Mosque and London Muslim Centre (with juice bars, restaurants and shops at the bottom) http://www.nsm88.org/images/east%20london%20mosque.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/London_Muslim_Centre_Angled_View_1.jpg/800px-London_Muslim_Centre_Angled_View_1.jpg Cristal Mosque @ Terengganu Malaysia http://bp1.blogger.com/_lWfeqbc0t5I/R5gLhTHurEI/AAAAAAAAAI4/-VSoNEthYDw/S740/20080119+862.jpg http://bp1.blogger.com/_lWfeqbc0t5I/R3mwcBbGJxI/AAAAAAAAAD0/Btbsz33D85g/S740/20071120+181.jpg http://bp1.blogger.com/_lWfeqbc0t5I/R3S8nRbGJiI/AAAAAAAAABk/_cqDnwpR4WQ/S740/20071226+159.jpg http://bp2.blogger.com/_lWfeqbc0t5I/R6V9mTHurWI/AAAAAAAAALg/Tzmqxxj1TxQ/S740/20071017202258_dsc_3351%255B1%255D%5B1%5D.jpg Another shot of Qul shareef Mosque, Kazaan Russia: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1162/1475665351_54af37cbd6_o.jpg Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina http://farm1.static.flickr.com/92/227263379_7b76793d06_o.jpg TETOVA/TETOVO FYROM MACEDONIA http://farm1.static.flickr.com/168/451946081_041d124cbe.jpg?v=0 The Golden Dome Mosque- Depok, West Java, Indonesia http://ariesaksono.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/masjid-kubah-emas-05.jpg http://pasarminggu08.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/kubah-emas1.jpg http://queenara.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/100_1045.jpg Siamese_Pride August 5th, 2009, 12:49 PM Mosque in Thailand Pattani Central Mosque, Pattani http://www.thaidphoto.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=364620&stc=1&d=1247207242 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/3047305417_b074670128_b.jpg The Old Kru Se Mosque, Pattani http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/2923177693_e9a1548bc8_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/2923224811_f0298e9f74_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/3048173558_3ff77dfc94_b.jpg Wadialhusen Mosque, Narathiwat (Local Malayu Architechure) http://farm1.static.flickr.com/33/67498668_b51fba1787_b.jpg Songkhla Central Mosque, Songkhla http://www.rpst-digital.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=144478&stc=1 Darulmutakeen Mosque, Bangkok http://farm1.static.flickr.com/191/482610117_6951f32817_b.jpg Nadini August 9th, 2009, 05:21 AM Mohamed Al Amin Mosque - Beirut Courtesy of Rodrigo Martino http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/Nadini234/rodrigomartino.jpg http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/Nadini234/105136430AU9Z5VbeCIMG2002.jpg http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/Nadini234/105136431cSvGOeFTCIMG2003.jpg http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/Nadini234/1051364347BXEsEobCIMG2017.jpg courtesy of omar http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu287/Nadini234/omar.jpg Abdallah K.

They want to be seen, to stand out....It's more like an in your face statement. Those towers serve absolutely no purpose, since it's not ok to call out loud for prayers anyway...So Belgian gouvernment asked to the muslim community if those towers with the crescent on top where needed. This in order to make them a bit les present and overwhelming to the neigborhood they are in.... Our muslim community insists that a mosk must have towers and that the crescent is needed. I don't mind actually. I like most of the mosks build here. I can't tell the same about the people who go there for prayers but that's another story.

Call for prayers could be quite annoying if the mosque is in a big neighbourhood. The crescent is not islamic, do you see crescents in Saudi Arabia? Its more like a cultural-turkish thing and the towers are cultural too and they are different depending on the country. SoroushPersepolisi January 6th, 2012, 06:47 PM i think most of them look childish (the ones in the west), i cant understand how the municipalities allowed such constructions joshsam January 6th, 2012, 07:14 PM ^^I actually like most of them. About the crescent. I remember there was a debate about it being a symbol of Islam (as a religion) or not. Belgians claimed (by reading information about it) it was not the same as a cross was for christians and that is was more of cultural thing (and thus is not needed to be put everywhere since it has nothing to do with islam as a religion). But our muslims seem to give grate value to the crescent in a kind of religious way, so well yeah...let them have it I guess. It's actually the same debate about wearing headscarves and veils or not. Some say it's religion, others say it's culture. In my eyes it's culture too.
