  • Mohammad Ali Mosque

    This is pretty much as taken. No flash or tripod just me leaning back. I just checked the EXIF data and apparently the shutter speed was 1/4sec! Not too shaky for an old hand held snapper eh?



    And another one for Tinka.

    Built a mosque and named after "Casius Clay"? He became a Muslim purely to avoid his draft into the military and the vietnam war. Strange?
    yes the image is not bad for a hand held slow speed shot, could do with a tweek to give it a boost and bring out the gold and decor.

      hehehe...it was built in the first half of the 19th century and I think it might have been named after Muhammad Ali Pasha, the ruler of Egypt!

        Casius Clay became a Muslim in 1964 and was known at the time to fellow Muslims as Cassius X He was then given the name Muhammad Ali by Elijah Muhammad a Muslim leader, the authorities wouldn't accept the new name until 1971.
        He got his call up papers in 1966

            I know that very well, just putting the record straight to an inaccurate reply.
            No need to get in a twist.

                    Yes but he knew he was due to be called up soon and became a muslim.
                    Never mind, it is really only an aside and should only be about the image posted. Sorry to sidetrack.
