  1. My dream vacation would to visit the top 10 mosques in the world, not for the religious aspect but for the beautiful intricate patterns they have. They’re absolutely beautiful.

  2. Is it wrong to think that Hindu temples are sort of garish compared to mosques? There are some mosques in Morocco that are insanely beautiful. I would go back just to see the mosques again.

  3. They don’t have giant lingams in mosques, so I fail to see how they can trump Hindu temples. They are definitely pretty though.

  6. I saw some amazingly beautiful designs in mosques in Iran recently – it just totally floored me how much prettier they are than Christian churches.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
