Ninja Turtles

The Selimiye Mosque in Edirne not only has the highest minarets in Turkey, at 70.9 meters, but it is one of the most important monuments in this ancient province; designed by Turkey's greatest master architect, Mimar Sinan. Mimar is often compared to Michelangelo, his contemporary in the West. He, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci all received an invitation to design a bridge over the Golden Horn by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II. His design won. If he would have been born in the west instead of in the Muslim world perhaps we would know his name as well as we know the names of Leonardo and Michelangelo... Perhaps he even would have been respected enough to have one of the mutant ninja turtles named after him... Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Mimar .... now that would be famous.... To Bahai's, this mosque is where Baha'u'llah's Revelation was formally separated from the older Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Babi and Christian Faiths, yet also linked as part of the continuous and ancient faith of God.
