I admit, I’ve been impressesd by their architecture and pottery, and some of their cuisine, as well. They’re still a culture of bloodthirsty troglodytes.

I agree.

For example, the Taj Mahal is very impressive.

To me, Islamic architecture and most other traditional architectural styles are more aesthetically appealing than modern and postmodern architecture.

wp--> as James pointed out in post 6, the Taj Mahal was based on north Indian Hindu architecture

Wpa--> the architecture is mostly from before Islam --> for example the various arches etc. in La Mesquita are from Byzantine art. Cuisine -- that is pre-Islamic mostly....
