If you want to turn this into an Islamic or Iran bashing thread please take it to P&N and spare the rest of us. We don't want to hear that shit. Hate Islam or Iran fine but post it some place else. This thread is just about pretty architecture.

 

[TallBill]

I hate Iran

I hate Iran

Bigotted bastard.

Don't be so prejudiced.
I hate the entire middle east.

Hopefully no one decides to practice their suicide bombing technique at any of these places.

That wouldn't make much sense.

This is the most awesome example of islamic archetecture i've ever seen:

See you and Gayner in a few days for all the crapping and trolling you've been doing in this thread.

The swastika is an ancient religious symbol. The Nazi's just took it.

"The swastika as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune is widely distributed throughout the ancient and modern world. The word is derived from the Sanskrit svastika, meaning “conducive to well-being.”"

I could probably spend a rather unusual amount of time staring over some of those nice repetitive patterns.

Pretty amazing. The intricate details are the highlights of Islamic architecture - just stunning in person (i.e. the Taj in India).

The architecture in the OP is stunning, but all the xenophobic American prats can think to discuss is their idiotic and false preconceived notions. How is my picture any more offensive than what was posted above it?

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Amazing photos in the OP. Shame about the usual xenophobic trolls ruining this thread. Anyone who can't appreciate the sophisticated geometry and fine workmanship in things like this:

is a lesser human being.

 

[szechuanpork]

amazing architecture

Because you decide to post a pic of a place with thousands of americans lost their life. I posted a pic of a bombed out saddam hussein palace.

Unless you were friends with Saddam (in which case, you should be lost in Guantanmo) ... it's waaay more offensive.

Prick.

Cry me a river guyver. When you learn to not be a racist toolbag let me know and I'll be more considerate of your feelings then.

There are some very impressive works there, even if I'm not really a big fan of the "intricate bathroom tile" look. Out of curiosity, how many of these are recent constructions? Are most leftovers from Islamic culture's golden age?

If hating the people and culture that spawned the people that killed your friends is racist.. then yes, i'm racist.. and wish they all die a fiery painful death.

i wish they die and leave behind kids who wonder when their dad will come home.

Then yes, you are indeed a racist.

 

[guyver01]

Then yes, you are indeed a racist.

and i dont give a fuck. i hope they all burn in hell. or whatever the fuck they believe in.

 

[Kadarin]

Then yes, you are indeed a racist.

Speaking of false notions, it's not racist to hate Muslims, because Islam is not a race.
