2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi er en av byene som ble hardest rammet under krigen. Det bor fortsatt folk her, men mange bygg er fortsatt ruiner. Under og etter krigen forlot de aller fleste azeriene området og konsekvensene er blant annet forlatte moskéer som denne. Sjåføren vår gjorde et poeng av at de ikke hadde revet eller ødelagt moskéen. Det var ingen synlige tegn på hærverk, men moskéen var likevel i dårlig stand — ikke så rart etter flere år uten daglig vedlikehold i et område med harde vintre. Dette er trappen inne i en av minaretene. Foto av Christian Fredrik Borchsenius.
2008-07-20 Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh: Shushi was was of the cities that suffered the most damage during the war. There are still people living here, but many building have still in ruins. During and after the war most Azeris left the area. As a consequence you have abandoned mosques such as this one. Our driver made a point of the fact that it had not been knocked down or destroyed. There were no visible signs of vandalism, but it was in bad condition — which given years without maintenance and hars winters is not so strange. This is the stairwell in one of the minarets.

From "Highlights of China":
The Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque is the most famous Mosque in the southwest of China. As the temple is near a royal palace in history, so it is named the Huangcheng Mosque. The Mosque covers an area of 6,600 square meters, with a construction area of 5,600 square meters. It is the largest Mosque in Sichuan Province and is one of the famous old temple in China.
The architectural style of the temple combined the Arabic style and Ming, Qing Dynasty's architectural style as a whole. The existing constructions include an entrance wall, two gates, an ambulatory, a shower room, a library and a prayer hall, etc. The entrance wall is opposite the main gate. Between the wall and the gate, it is a street. On the top of the main gate is the tablet marked the name of " Huangcheng Mosque". Outside the main gate is the fence. On the top of the second gate is the tablet marked the name of "Kai Tian Gu Jiao" ( it means a old temple with a long history). The second tablet is the relics of Qing Dynasty(1644-1911). The library holds a lot of Islam books with Arabic and Chinese language. The prayer hall is a newly building with grand scale and simplicity. The temple is the center of the Islamic Association in Sichuan Province.
It was a rainy day in Chengdu, which is pretty normal for July, so misty air and bad lighting make this a rather flat picture.

Jamia Mosque is a mosque located on Banda Street in Nairobi's Central Business District. The mosque is one of Kenya's most prominent religious structures, and the most important mosque in the country. It was founded and first built by Syed Maulana Abdullah Shah between 1902 and 1906. The Mosque has been extended since its original construction.
The Jamia Mosque retains its classic Arabic Islamic architectural style with extensive use of marble and inscriptions from the Quran, and the traditional row of shops down one side provide rental income for its upkeep. It is recognizable by its three silver domes, and twin minarets.
Sheikh Zayed Mosque is the largest mosque in the country and the eighth largest mosque in the world.
This a picture of the Ferhad Pasha Mosque in Bosnia. “Tower was endowed by Hasan Nazir and built by Mimir Ramadan-aga.” This was one of the oldest and most valued mosque of the Muslim faith in Bosnia until 1993 when terrorist blew it up with landmines. The mosque had been standing since 1583. The U.S. was acting as the negotiator at the time and also had to send in U.S. troops to help settle the violence. The bombing launched a series of attacks on mosques through out the country. The bombers were trying to force the Muslim people to leave their country and were so called “ethnic cleansers.” The end result left the country divided into 3 ethnic groups and the U.S. military still continues to patrol some sections of the country incase of a sudden rise in violence.
