I met Tiny a good while back though i didnt know his name at the time. Today we talked for a good while. He told me he converted to Islam a decade ago and could read and write a bit of arabic. in fact, rather than a member of the Nation of Islam, he practiced mainstream Sunni Islam and ran with a crew of 'arabians' (his term). he said they called him sheikh tiny. he agreed to introduce me to his imam at their mosque friday afternoon.

Sheikh Khalifa Mosque, Shymkent, Kazakhstan. This recently built mosque is one of the largest in Asia and can accommodate 6000 worshipers in its interior. It was built in 2013 using money from the UAE. This unique view was taken by putting my camera (12 mm lens) on the floor slanted against the back wall of the blue semi-circular niche of the mihrab (indicating the direction of Mecca) and activating the time delay and getting out of the way. The red carpet on the floor is seen at the bottom and above is the main entrance. Above that is the women's balcony and all is topped by the wonderfully huge central dome and chandelier.
