Say a prayer for the mosque
Article Abstract:
The design of British mosques has generally been of very poor quality, mainly as a result of a lack of Muslim architects and a misunderstanding of Islamic culture on the part of non-Muslim designers. Mosques have been built across the country in a haphazard way, with many having been converted from old buildings. There will always be different styles of mosques in different cities, as the Muslim community is very diverse, but Muslims are now attempting to work with non-Muslim architects to improve standards of design.

Naples
Article Abstract:
The city of Naples, Italy, is one of the most beautiful in the world, but is a place of great contrasts, being also a centre of considerable poverty. It is worth avoiding some areas, especially at night, and not carrying any valuables. The city is particularly attractive in Dec and Jan, when the light is beautiful and the temperature remains pleasant. There are many places to visit, including the chapel of San Gennaro and the church of San Francesco di Paolo.
