they did not build it. Justinian oversaw it's completion in 537-8. Le'ts instead, take down the miniarets and restore it to it's original...especially the icons and mosaics of Jesus that they painted over - see links (will post live links next post

I took a close look at the images and saw that they were mosaic, not paintings. That is probably why there are still parts of the images left on the walls. The muzzies probably got tired of chipping off the mosaics one by one. Don’t know which would be harder work—putting up the mosaics or scrapping them off.
