This is the Al-Rashid ("the righteous": one of Allah's 99 names) Mosque built in my hometown Edmonton, Alberta in 1938. It is the first mosque in Canada, and arguably the first mosque in North America. It was founded by Muhammad Abdul Aleem Siddiqi (from modern day Pakistan), built by Ukrainians in the style of an Orthodox Church, and inaugurated by the 21st Mayor of Edmonton, John Fry.
At the time, there were only 700 Muslims in Canada, mostly from British India to work in Canadian industry (railways, construction, lumber, mining). Edmonton was only a city for 34 years, so it's one of the city's oldest buildings. The Muslim community of Edmonton quickly outgrew the parish mosque of Al-Rashid, and the mosque has been moved to Fort Edmonton park, beside the 300 year old Fort Edmonton, on which the trade post, later town, later city of Edmonton was founded by Anthony Henday (from Edmonton, England).
This mosque is an integral part of Canadian history, as Muslims represent 3.2% of Canadians.
What the fuck canada. In here we dont even have a proper mosque but these random "muslim praying rooms" because why the fuck here should be a mosque

There was this beautiful white mosque in Mexico City that got turned into a nightclub (the bulldog in Patriotismo for anyone familiar) I litreally got a handjob from a wannabe fresa in there.
There's a few decent looking ones here and there but they're all destined to the same fate sooner or later, fortunately pictured is about the limit of what they can economically manage here at the moment.

This is, apparently, a mosque. However it's an Amadiya mosque which is probably why they aren't trying real hard to be all mosquey.

We only have small, wooded, old tatar mosques that they still use.

> why the fuck here should be a mosque Because these Muslim workers from India were skilled tradesmen who were foundational in building our city.
The least we can do is give build them a mosque to practice their faith.
Muslims have never been an enemy of Canada. They've always come here to contribute to our nation.
Neat.
This city doesn't have a lot of history. They still hold the odd Friday Prayer there. It's literally one of the oldest monuments in Edmonton.

Tatars are okay. I have never heard anyone complain about them

The Carthaginians had temples to Ishtar that doubled as brothels. Women went to these temples pray to Ishtar for fertility, men when to them to fertilise the "priestesses" for a small tithe.

Selim Chazbijewicz a Polish Tatar professor said that arabs are a threath to autochtonic muslim population in Europe and should never, ever be taken in by European countries.

then there's this, the only Turkish mosque of Hungary which still retains its minaret
I live close to this mosque. It was built for the Turkish community, apparently. Voted most beautiful building in Rotterdam like 10 years ago.
Might even be true as Rotterdam is one of the ugliest cities because the Germans flattened it in WW2.

The funny thing about the mosque is that our former mayor asked Morocco if they could invest on muslim archictecture, he ended up only building the minaret and using the money on other things

in my town there were a little mosque in the middle of an industrial zone (for immigrant workers), but it was abandonned for a new one finished in 2007. It's called An-Nur (The Light), like the association that was in charge of building and managing it. The association didn't accept funds from governemental entities, donations were only accepted from believers.
How's the muslim community doing ? Here the mosque gives free lessons to help highschoolers graduate, thanks to some generous teachers. Unfortunately, the believers who pray there make a lot of noise, especially at night. And they park their cars anywhere, so that causes problems with the neighbours
