Eiffel tower in Paris

This is the only modern structure listed in the top ten. I think the The Chrysler Building in NY would be a far better choice.

Actually, Hindu extremists try to claim that the Taj Mahal was originally a Hindu temple.

IIRC, Haga Sophia is now a museum that honors both of the cathedral/mosque's pasts.

But notice the name they used instead of the Ayasofya mosque/museum. The world hasn't forgotten, PC hasn't changed its popular name.
