I don't need your opinion

well its a proven fact by world renowned architects and archeologists!!!there is no such thing called ISLAMIC ARCHITECTURE!! read Islamic books and you will not find any description of any architectural code to follow.

a chinese mosque!! there is no particular standard to construct a mosque !

 

[indianpatriot]

you have islamic style like but nothing like islamic ARCHITECTURE to be precise.Its Sumerian or Persian architecture that mosques and others have.
