In a media platform where Islam is often portrayed as radical, terrorist and subservient religion, the television program Little Mosque on the Prairie, serves to combat modern day Orientalism and Islamophobia through education and humor. Filled with richly diverse characters and viewpoints, Little Mosque offers viewers an alternate depiction of muslims within popular culture and successfully illustrates Forbes and Mahan’s religious and cultural typology. Additionally, Little Mosque attempts to bring awareness and greater understandings of Islamic practice and culture, while highlighting ongoing gender discourse within both the muslim and secular community.

The types of materials used for the building process were very specifically chosen. Limestone and granite were the main types of rock used. Limestone formed in great quantities in Egypt. Local limestone was used in the core while a finer quality of limestone was used on the exterior of the pyramid. Granite was used on a very grand scale, often for the inner walls. Stone was suitable for building only if it was healthy stone in natural condition with no breakage or cracks. Fire, heat, or cold were not used on the rock as they would produce fractures.

The city holds an incredible population of 14.4 million. The climate has a mild temperature of Twenty-six degrees Celsius or seventy-nine degrees Fahrenheit average throughout July (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul). An Architectural marvel is the Hagia Sophia Museum / Church (Ayasofya). It has thirty million gold tiles in display throughout its interior and was constructed during the sixth century with a wide flat dome, which is bold engineering for the time (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293974-d294497-Reviews-Hagia_Sophia_Museum_Church_Ayasofya-Istanbul.html). The blue mosque is another place to visit. It is an impressive mosque with six minarets. The reason it is called the blue mosque comes from two stories: story one is because the interior is covered in Blue Iznik tiles, this is more commonly known compared to the second story: ancient sailors that used to sail by the mosque saw the blue colors of the Marmara Sea reflected in the mosque. the mosque was built inbetween 1609 and 1616 (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293974-d294495-Reviews-Blue_Mosque-Istanbul.html).

The Bibi Khanym is a congregational mosque, masjid-i jami` in Persian, built by Emperor Timur-i Leng between 1399 and 1404 in Samarkand, present day Uzbekistan. Emperor Timur remarkably expanded his small tribe into the Timurid Dynasty, which lasted from 1370 to 1507. Timur showed great leadership skills and also had an interest in architecture. The results of his artistic interests are especially apparent in Samarkand, the capital of the Timurids during Timur’s reign where art, architecture, and culture flourished. The Bibi Khanum exemplifies the vision that Timur held for Samarkand because of the monument’s dominant and massive nature. Although today the mosque is different from the time of the Timurid Dynasty because of the renovations over the years, the Bibi Khanum is still a testimony to the unbelievable and intricate architecture of the times. The Bibi Khanum congregational mosque is an exceptional example of Timur’s style of grand building and incredible embellishments expressed throughout the Timurid Dynasty.

There was lots of interesting stuff to see both outside and the inside. The build was very much like the house. I guess it makes sense, since it is here in US, and the weather is pretty cold. Usually in a mosque there towers rising form the mosque. They were round and long and covered with the pointed room. It is where adhan is called; adhan is a islamic call to prayer. And the building has the dome rooftop. The mosque I went to was very plain looking. From the front it looked like a house. It was kind of long, and it had lawn around it, with beautiful trees and flowers planted. From the inside, the building is very plan. As soon as you enter the building there was a shoe rack, where everyone took of their shoes. And then there was a prayer hall, where the warship takes place five times a day. The prayer hall is also called musalla. The prayer hall was pretty plain; there was literally no furniture in the room. There were some chairs for the elderly people, and a book shelf filled with Quran and other islamic religious books. The prayer hall walls were plain as well, except some part where the walls ware decorated with the writings from Quran in Arabic. Other than that, there was no paintings, statues, or altar that caches your attention except one little part of the wall. That one little part of the wall was Mihrab. Mihrab is a semicircular niche in the wall of a mosque, which indicates the direction of the
