For Muslims and non-Muslims alike, the main reason to come to Konya is to visit this former lodge of the whirling dervishes and home to the tomb of Celaleddin Rumi (later known as Mevlâna), who we have to thank for giving the world the whirling dervishes. This is one of the biggest pilgrimage centres in Turkey, and the building's fluted dome of turquoise tiles is one of Turkey's most distinctive sights.

Arcos de la Frontera
One of Andalucia's most dramatically positioned pueblos blancos (white villages), Arcos balances atop a rocky limestone ridge, its whitewashed houses and stone castle walls stopping abruptly as a sheer cliff face plunges down to the river Guadalete below.
Declared a national historic-artistic monument in 1962 in recognition of its exceptional architecture and impressive location, the old town is a tangled labyrinth of cobbled streets that lead up to a sandstone castle, the Castillo de los Arcos. As you’d expect from such a spectacular vantage point, there are exhilarating views over the town and the rolling plain below.
Although its time under the Moors was one of its most successful, Arcos has had a long history of occupation, as shown by the discovery of numerous archaeological remains from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Tartessian, Phoenician and Roman periods. Plentiful water and its superb defensive hilltop location were the main attractions for settlers.
Ibn Tulun also added his own innovations: according to architectural historians, this is the first structure to use pointed arches, two hundred years before the European Gothic arch.
The mosque occupies 2.5ha, large enough for the entire Al-Fustat community to gather there to pray on Fridays.
The geometric simplicity of the mosque is best appreciated from the top of the minaret, which also has magnificent views of the Citadel.

Side and back lighting, edited in Luminar. This coffee pot was made in San Ambrogio, Sicily, in the summer of 1971. It is a beautiful reminder that many of today's items giving quality to life were originally introduced to Europe by the Muslim world.
She was holding a sign that invited "Meet a Muslim" with some friends in downtown Chicago and handing out flowers and hand written letters downtown. I expressed my gratitude that she is a part of America.
I hope everyone is kind to her. There is room in this world, in this country, and in my neighborhood for people of all faiths. Hate has no home here.
Pretty boring for terrorists, as they did not blow up anybody. They just hung out with everyone else, only freaking out when Yusuf Islam (the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens) was performing. But I'm pretty sure they screamed just as loud when Ozzy came out on stage moments later.
In which Muslim place can you see such a forest of crosses, church domes and belfries?..
(Edit: because of no guesses, I added the geolocation as a give-away ;)

At a mosque in one of Bangkok's many Muslim communities.
The name of the Madrassah is derived from the rich golden decoration on the faсade. “Tilla-Kori” is translated as “decorated with gold”.
In the western part of the Madrassah there is the mosque, crowned with the big glazed dome. Its inner decoration amazes by the quality of the gold, applied by the method of “kyndal”. For a long time this mosque was the main mosque in Samarkand.
My boss got her blind, 88 year old, very opinionated, die-hard Republican father this new "Talking" watch. She ask me to set everything and find out how to make it "Speak" the time audibly. Here's a short video of how things went down. Sorry about the muffled, poor audio. My microphone is crappy on my work computer.
