Why is Islamic architecture better than Christian architecture?

>>1750015
"""Islamic""" architecture was stolen from the Byzantines.

>>1750015
Reminder that muslims have never invented anything of worth and were only stealing from other cultures.

>>1750015
Holy fuck, top tier b8

Just cause you can't come up with a counter-argument doesn't mean you can play it of as "le bait".

Why is Gothic architecture so perfect?

I'm a fedora atheist, and it's still my favorite kind of building.

>>1750145
I'll bite. The "Islamic Architecture" shown is the Hagia Sophia, a Christian Church turned into a mosque after the Byzantine Empire fell.

I'm a Muslim and I quite like Christian architecture (I've been to the Vatican) as well as Muslim architecture

Considering how it's completely subjective, there's no "better" art style. Appreciate both and quit being such angry faggots thx

>>1750235
Repent ye and believe the gospel.

>>1750239
Boy you sure convinced me. Running to my local church to convert posthaste. Thanks, anon!

A serious question, how does it feel browsing this board which is pretty much christian-dominated as a muslim?

>>1750257
not him, but probably about as good as seeing threads which were obvious bait and made to trigger people into anti-muslim hysteria

>>1750257
It gets a bit tedious at times honestly, but I've learned a little bit about Christian theology and won my fair share of arguments as well. I have thick enough skin to weather the near-constant barrages against Islam, and enough knowledge of the religion to be able to handle "criticism" about it

tl;dr you get used to it

I also love the latest trend among cathocucks to LARP as Orthodoxies now that their Pope turned out to be shitting on everything they used to stand for.

>I've learned a little bit about Christian theology
Would you kindly explain the concept of the Hypostatic Union to me?

>>1750284
>>while threads discussing the different schools of Islam
What threads

>>1750280
I should also add that I have close friends who are Christian, as well as a Grandma who's Christian, so I suppose I have a soft spot for Christians and thus have a greater threshold for the diatribe that's so popular on this board for some reason.

The ones in the great archive of /osman/.

Since repeating yourself like a parrot daily while crying over "muh idol are better than yours" is not the righteous path.

It is the path of a man in doubt of his own beliefs.

>>1750288
I said a little bit. Frankly I've no idea. If this is a rhetorical question I'm more than happy to listen and learn but I don't know. Often the stuff I learn is stuff like the New Covenant, etc. I still can't wrap my head around the idea of Trinity and so on.

best religious architecture coming through

>>1750015
>Hagia Sophia
>Islamic architecture

This is b8

But also:
>judging a religion by aesthetic and not by doctrine

>>1750349
What do you even mean by this?

All I can hope is that I practice my faith well enough, and behave as a decent enough Muslim and human being and leave the world better than I found it before I die.

I wouldn't know for sure if a being beyond perception loved me or not regardless of which name you call Him by.

Bait aside, Islamic exploration of geometry for both decoration and symbolism is pretty fascinating.

>>1750298
The trinity is the stupidist part of christcucks faith.

>>1750015
I know this is bait but I'm still mad.

>>1750015
Why is Eastern Christian architecture so much better than Western Christian architecture?

And I'm not memeing OP, the Hagia Sophia is magnificent and it stood there hundreds, sometimes thousands of years before western Cathedrals, many of which have a same-ish Gothic style.

>>1750015
how interesting to group together architectures by religion so you can use a prime example of NORDIC architecture as an example of WESTERN architecture

>>1750015
That's East Roman architecture.

The hagia sophia is supposed to be the seat of the patriach of the orthodox church, until the turks invaded and plasted four big "allah signs" in its inner pillars.

To be fair, I usually prefer those quaint little wooden Churches that compliment their serine locations to the gaudy rococo monstrosities drowning within densely populated ares those Mosques tend to be.

Nice fucking try but that is the Zoroastrian fire temple of Hyrcania from the 3rd century BC
