Muslim leaders in the Netherlands commissioned a research on Dutch youngsters of Moroccan and Turkish descent who 'import' marriage partners from their parental homeland. The imported partners often find it hard to adjust to Western society, learn the new language. This results in a high divorce rate and other unpleasantries. Still, it appears to happen often, and a variety of arguments are given to justify the phenomenon. The book was presented to the press in an Amsterdam mosque.

Forgive me for the quality of photos, especially the group photos, of this day. I wasn't too right in the head, I suppose. Everything seems off center somehow. Sigh.

Érigée en partie sur la mer, la mosquée Hassan II est une des plus grandes et plus moderne au monde. La mosquée peut accueillir 105 000 fidèles et la salle de prières 25 000 fidèles.
La mosquée Hassan II possède un minaret d'une hauteur de 210 m1, le plus haut du monde. Des artisans recrutés dans toutes les villes du royaume avaient sculpté 53 000 m2 de bois et peint plus de 10 000 m2 de zellige (céramiques) pour la mosquée Hassan II
"Three Balconies Mosque"
The mosque has four minarets of different heights located at the four corners of the open court. The tallest, on the southern corner, is 67 meters in height and is decorated with a zigzag pattern in red and white stone. It is an early example of the use of separate staircases to access the different balconies. Its upper shaft and three balconies, like those of the other minarets, were rebuilt in a less ornate fashion than the original muqarnas work after having collapsed in the 1752 earthquake. The west, north and east minarets are designed, respectively, with spiral (burmali or yivli), fluted and diamond patterns and have single balconies except for the northwest minaret with two balconies.

We decided to return to the southern side of old Fes. We walked by the Kairaouine Mosque and managed to squeak a peak through the open doors.
Built in 1916, this mosque with Islamic and Indian influences is a place of worship for Indian Muslims who have lived and worked around the mosque for two hundred years. The original mosque was built in 1801 for Indian Muslim settlers and traders.

The London Central Mosque (also known as the Islamic Cultural Centre, ICC or Regent's Park Mosque) is a mosque in London, England.
It was designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd, completed in 1978, and has a prominent golden dome. The main hall can hold over five thousand worshippers, with women praying on a balcony overlooking the hall. The mosque holds a chandelier and a vast carpet, with very little furniture.
The inside of the dome is decorated with broken shapes in the Islamic tradition. There is also a small book shop and halal café on the premises. The Mosque is joined to the Islamic cultural centre which was officially opened by King George VI in 1944.
The land was donated by King George VI to the Muslim community of Britain in return for the donation of land in Cairo by King Farouk of Egypt and Sudan on which to build an Anglican cathedral.
