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.

Xi'an, as the primary city on China's silk road, is full of Muslim influence that is reflected in the very unique style of local cuisine. Below is one of the numerous streets that are full of food vendors. It would take days to walk through them all.
The architecture and specifically these pillars of the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba heavily reflects both Moorish and Catholic influence. Originally a Catholic cathedral, this building was later conquered and divided between Catholics and Muslims. It was then purchased and converted to a Muslim Mosque. Finally ,it was converted back to a Catholic Cathedral.

Mudéjar is the name given to the Moors or Muslims of Al-Andalus who remained in Christian territory after the Reconquista but were not converted to Christianity. It also denotes a style of Iberian architecture and decoration, particularly of Aragon and Castile, of the 12th to 16th centuries, strongly influenced by Moorish taste and workmanship.
The word Mudéjar is a Medieval Spanish corruption of the Arabic word Mudajjan مدجن, meaning "domesticated", in a reference to the Muslims who have submitted to the rule of the Christian kings.
After the fall of Granada in January of 1492, Mudéjars kept their status for some time. However, they were forced to convert to Christianity in the mid 16th century, and were known as Moriscos from that time until those who refused to convert to Christianity were expelled in 1610. Their distinctive style is still evident in architecture as well as the music, art, and crafts of the region.
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.
The Battle of Didgori was fought between the armies of the Kingdom of Georgia and the Great Seljuq Empire at the narrow place of Didgori, 40 km west of Tbilisi, on August 12, 1121. The large Muslim army, under the command of Ilghazi ibn Artuq was unable to maneuver, and suffered a devastating defeat due to King David IV of Georgia’s effective military tactics.
The battle at Didgori was the culmination of the entire Georgian-Seljuk wars, and led to the Georgians’ reconquest of Tbilisi in 1122. Soon after that David moved the capital from Kutaisi to Tbilisi. The victory at Didgori inaugurated the medieval Georgian Golden Age and is celebrated in the Georgian chronicles as a (Georgian: ძლევაჲ საკვირველი, dzlevay sakvirveli; lit. the "miraculous victory"). Modern Georgians continue to remember the event as an annual September festival known as Didgoroba ("[the day] of Didgori").
A very complex conflict erupted in 1992-1995 between three ethnic groups (Serbs, Croats, and Muslims) that was first centered on whether Bosnia should stay in the Yugoslav Federation, or whether it should become independent. This later caused a genocide committed by Serbs against the Muslim Bosniaks. The main targets of this genocide were men and teenage boys and as a result many women lost their husbands and sons and many also faced rape and violence throughout the war.

Two female mannequins dressed in Filipino Muslim traditional garbs seem to peer outward from a surrounding of colorful sarongs and clothing. A contrast between traditional, conservative attire clashing with vibrant colors.
Actually there are five, with the last one being determined by your financial and physical well-being. That's the "Economy" of religion I guess.
A mosque will almost always give you a cool, ephemeral feeling; whether you are there to steal shoes or make absurd promises to the Almighty, it always will. There are free hats, free water to cleanse your carnal parts and plenty of places to take a free nap if you are an exhausted traveler stranded in an alien land. Now that is clever marketing !
Alas, people will still prefer something by Shakira though :(
