Iran: Mosque's design is a Zionist conspiracy

Iranian sources blamed the architect of a recently-built mosque for having a an affinity for "secular Judaism" and participating in a "Zionist plot."

The new mosque, built in Tehran, follows a minimalist design which according to the architects is symbolic of "early Islam's modesty."

However, more conservative voices have criticized the mosque's design for the fact that it differs from traditional mosques around the world.

In their opinion, the design is the result of "secular and Jewish influence."

Mashregh, a local news site, claimed the new mosque looks like a kippah (skullcap or beanie), and that the architects must stand trial for "reason"...

Yes, agreed Haghia Sophia was a church before the Ottomans took over, but it was a mosque for centuries, and no one of the Islamic persuasion had any problems with its shallow dome all that time, and many mosques were built in imitation of it.

Thanks Eleutheria5. The *nice* thing for the Shiite-heads is that they also wipe their own asses during such bouts of cranial-rectal inversion.

Holy Crap. They’re right. It looks like Reformed Temple Ben Zona. Where’s the freakin’ dome?

[AdmSmith]

From the article:

An editorial posted on the Mashregh news website compared the curvature of the mosque to that of a Jewish yarmulke, accusing authorities of "treason" for approving it.

The "completely neutral" design betrays an "atheistic approach", the editorial said.

I think that it is a nice building.

It’s a nice mosque, as mosques go. Building? Reminds me too much of a Reform Temple. I prefer the budding boob domes, personally.

From the mullahs that gave us spy squirrels, bugs, and lizards!

[Eleutheria5]

All true. Excuse me while I rub my hands together and leer evilly. Now we have a Jooo! mosque in the middle of Iran. Nyahahahaha! (rub hands together)

Rocky and Bullwinkle worked for us, too.

It’s an attractive building

The “El Aqsa” mosque is translated as the furthest corner and said to be the spot where their so-called prophet ascended to heaven to learn how mooslimes were to pray. However, their so-called never set foot in Israel or Jerusalem while he was alive.

[zaxtres]

Even still all mosques are fashioned after the cathedral.

“so-called prophet” You mean the wholly profit? He is a true profit, wholly.
