"Muslim",
Wasn't their shit just inherited/built upon from previous Christian Byzantium/Roman architecture, and whatever the fuck Persia had before the Islamic conquest? (Zoroastrianism?)
What purely Islamic architecture is there? (genuine non-loaded question)
>>68841876
This, it's seriously no contest. I'm super atheist but fuck if there aren't a ton of gorgeous churches.
>>68842475
Yes. The 'Aladdin' looking shit is Persian, and the domed mega-structures like the Hagia Sofia are Byzantine (read: late Roman).
>>68842475
I'm sure Westminster will be getting minarets soon.
dat butress
>>68841565
I won't call it the 'best' per se but I have always loved Chinese (Daoist, Buddhist, Confucian) temples. Sure, most of them look the same, but some of them are just gorgeous and usually in beautiful locations like the top of a mountain in the jungle or something.

I don't think it's necessarily the best, but my personal favorite is Jainism.

Clearly pagan influenced, especially since some of the stave churchers were build in the 1100s which is not long after the people were converted
Norse pagan temples / russian orthodox wooden churches.
wood is just so much more comfy than stone
This >>68843358 is a good example of what I meant in my post about Chinese temples (>>68842977). I guess Buddhist temples elsewhere
There's also lots that are way bigger, more ornate, more beautiful, more epic etc. Pic related is just cute lil cozy jungle temple though.

It's not really arguable. It was built by a Muslim, and it's a Persian style building.

Muslims were more or less despised at the time,
However they're currently the only religious group permitted to worship there

There is none, but some indigenous Muslim styles are significantly less offensive than the 'obnoxious Middle Eastern eyesore' that we're used to nowadays.

The we wuz meme is about blacks attaching themselves to the cultures of others, of which they only have a vague notion but know it's something positive to hang their hat on and justifies their narrative of victimhood.

Shia Muslim or Catholic no contest. Shia only because some muslim shit in Persia looks nice. The rest is the same friggen "Allah is great" scribbled everywhere and geometric patterns like someone was on mushrooms when they decided on a design.

You're completely historically ignorant if you're just going to project the memes about modern Christianity onto the early middle age Catholic church. They really were the continuation of central administration in Europe after the fall of the western Roman Empire.

Nietzche was a retard raised raised by retarded protestants.
catholicism teaches that the world was created by god and is thus inherently beautiful and good (at least most of the time) which is why Catholics have made beautiful pieces of architecture and art.
