Some of the Islamic art in Sicily is very beautiful

Agreed. If you're a fan of Byzantine or Rococo art. The designs are incredibly intricate, I'll give them that. But look at some of the mosaics in the Taj Mahal, for example. The muslime weren't the only ones making really ornate filigree.

Oh, dear. I don’t have the money to go to the Taj Mahal! My husband has relatives in Sicily and we know the island fairly well. I believe it’s the Western part that has Islamic culture. The East is more Greek.

The guy who did the Taj Mahal was a Muslim.
