It's stunning. Especially when you see the variety of Islamic architecture depending on the region. Like the European Islamic architecture is stunning (the ones in Turkey, Russia, Spain, Balkans etc...) and then you see the difference with the ones in the Middle East, South Asia or even the ones in China! It's gorgeous.

So are you just going to sit there are celebrate the creations of this oppressive culture? As a woman, I am offended.

Taj Mahal is among the 2 perfect buildings in the world, along with the Parthenon. And the other is in ruins.

Agreed, and I also love seeing the fusions of Islamic architecture with local architecture - such as Islamic architecture in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Balkans, etc which all have their own variations.
