THE ONES I MISSED
If you know of any that I missed, please tell me.
* Iskender Pasa Mosque - across Fevzi Pasa Cad. from Fatih. (Yr?) Don't confuse it with one in Diyarbakir (1551) or Gazi Iskender Pasa 1mi. up Bosphorus (1560).
* Haseki Sultan 1538? (not the hamam/bath)

1/24/2003 Seeing these mosques was one of the great experiences of my life! I am so happy to see them again, on this site. I also recommend the Atik Valide Caami complex in Uskudar for anyone interested in this great architect.

12/25/2003 Brilliant Site. I have always been in love with Turkish Masjids.
As soon as you go inside one, you know you are standing before your creator,
because of the majestic beauty of the surroundings.
12/25/2003 I have heard so much about the Selim Mosque in Edirne, but where are the pictures?
12/26/2003 Yes, I so wanted to see the Selim Mosque in Edirne. Plus, there are Sinan mosques in Bursa that I want to see. Maybe some day.
5/2/2004 Masha Allah, I love these pictures, they are a beautiful sign of Islamic greatness and a motivation to try and achieve such glory as our forefathers have done beyond all the trouble that is disturbing the muslim world today.
Well Done, and Lots of Sellam from a Bosniak brother from Australia who was born in Novi Pazar
5/3/2004 I'm doing a report on Mimar Sinan and it is really cool to find this site and be able to see his mosques in such beautiful pictures, thank you!
7/12/2004 THE ONES WHO SAYS UGLY WORDS ABOUT TURKEY AND TURKS , THERE ARE GOOD ONES AND THE BAD ONES IN EVERY COUNTRY.IF YOUR HEARTS FULL OF HATRED TURKISH PEOPLE CAN NOT BE THE REASON, THEY CAN ONLY GIVE AND SHARE THEIR LOVE , RESPECT AND THEIR FOOD.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO GET TO KNOW TURKEY AND ITS RICH HISTORY AND THEN I DO NOT THINK YOU ALL WILL HAVE THESE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT THE TURKISH PEOPLE.
I LOVE U ALL AND THANK U VEY MUCH BYE THE WAY TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PREPARED
THIS WEBSIDE. I LOVE U ALL.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Ayrıca araya "Laaa laaaa mahsun" diye böğüren arkadaş hakkında birşey söylemek istiyorum... Böyle bir yerde bile üstün zekanı sergileyip Mimar Sinan' ın izinden gittiğimizi gösterdiğin için teşekkür ediyorum... Zekan fazla geliyor olmalı ki fazlası bizim anlayamadığımız boyutlar arası kelimeler cinsinden ağız ishali olarak dökülüyor... Çapsız!!!
12/30/2004 sizi tebrik ediyorum. Çok güzel ve temsili bir site
4/26/2005 Please, men do not convert this site to an ugly-arguement arena. I hope this site was not created for these things. You the "so called" Armenian genocide arguer, go and try to impose your crazy idea in other sites. This site should not be a use for these pathetic losers. And as the author, or the webmaster, the site owner should read and evaluate the comments before posting here. Please if you want to do something try to do it in a honorable way, insulting the whole Turkish nation will not convince anybody. Please post your comments in a sensitive and respectful way. And please do not try to answer this comment, if you do, we won't make any progress, just argue, argue, and argue.
So, just get over with it and search for other communication tools or areas for your opinion. Have a nice day. Bilal ÇELİK, İzmir University of Economics, İzmir, Turkey
5/1/2005 Turkish are one of the most brave and hospitable nation this earth ever produced.
If we go back to the ancient history, Turkish are most Islam loving and Practical Muslims. They have a very good record in the Past.
I pray for the same in present and wish them a happy future.
5/1/2005 Aslamoalaikum all my Muslim brothers(Turkish and Non turkish)
First of all, Very well done for launching such a beautiful web site.
Well, I have seen, people have written quite a lot about the Genocides in the past. Being a Muslim, it is our belief that killing of any innocent is a major crime.
I wonder, why people can not see the other side of the picture.
What is happening in Iraq, kashmir,Palestine,Afhganistan and all around the muslim world? Muslim's blood is being floated in the streets? Is it different blood from the Americans and Israelis?
We must condemne this, if we claim to be fair, otherwise I am afraid this cheap diplomacy will never be accepted by the fair generations of the world.
Few words about the Turkish Nation...........Very intellegent,courageous and God fearing people, who at one point,were ruling the whole world coz they were true Muslims.
Lets join together and stand under the Flag of Islam and be true Muslims and spread the Allah's message through out the world that true success is in fulfilling the commandments of Allah and holy ways of his Prophet Muhammed(Peace be upon Him).
Dear Friends, May I request you all not to use abusive language for anybody and prove to be very sensible and loving human beings.
HAVE A NICE DAY
5/28/2005 ARMENIAN / TURK - SAME BLOOD - SAME RACE - FOREVER FRIENDS.......
6/13/2005 Sorry about the insulting conversation that has been going on here for the past several weeks. I have removed most of the offending messages.
Since 4/24/2005, 80% of notes posted on this site were posted here as an argument between several people. The person starting it and posting most of the notes (70 notes) uses AOL, which makes him very hard to track, but he's probably in the US. The YTA supporter submitted the second most notes with 40 notes. He is near Istanbul. A third is near Leiden, Zuid-Holland with 20 notes. Things cooled down around 5/29/2005 when the site started slowing down from all the posts.
Thanks to those who tried to cool down the discussion.
... And in the great words of Mr. King, "Can't we all just get along?" (Rodney, not Dr. MLK.)
6/22/2005 Im not sure if you have had any messages from down under... but as a Turkish Muslim living in Australia I would like to congratulate you on your efforts. The site is FANTASTIC! THANK YOU :)
TAKE CARE
9/5/2005 Ive just come back from kusadasi 3 weeks ago.It was my best holiday ever.Turkish people are so nice,couldn't do enough for us.Big "hello" TO all the staff in the shamrock bar,alex,serken,UGLY,richie rich,ibo,teo and the rest.See yous all next year for a month coz 2 weeks wasn't enough.lots of love from Genene,Breiffni and elaine Ireland xxx We love it!
10/13/2005 Thanks for the effort brother...its informative ...Fadzil ( Malaysia ).
11/14/2005 Asselamunaleikum..
First of all,. i do not think that this site was intended for discussing political issues. There are many sites and forums to spill your guts over politics so please do so if you must,.. but not here..
Now, as for the beautifull architecture by Mimar Sinan, and about the mosques in this case... i have a question. Did Sinan design the interior decorations of the projects he made, or did he just stick to the contructive side and leave the details of patterns, ornaments and writings to others?
Thank you,
Erkan
1/1/2006 HI, im a kiwi girl living in australia with a turkish husband! Love turkey and it's people & great site... Very informative and great pics, Well Done.

If you haven't been Istanbul and Turkey, you missed lots of beauty. Thank you for this site. I can send you some photos about Selimiye Mosque Eski Mosque Uc Serefeli Mosque in Edirne, Sehzade Mosque Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul.

4/4/2006 lm Sinan Cavlim and live in Greece and l say for that,best place in euro is istanbul Konstantinople , istanbul have History for self .
4/10/2006 Hi all. It s really great to see those people around the world interested in Sinan's Work. But i would like to open a new point of view and say that Sinan is not only an Architect but one of the best Structural Engineers in the world. I am saying that because i am a Civil and Earthquake Engineer and also a doctorate student in Milano who is dealing with seismic behaviour of monumental buildings especially the mosques. So i would like to share an information with you. Sinan also was one of the first (maybe the first) earthquake engineers in the world. He strengthened and retrofitted the Mosque Beyazit II in 1571-1574 by adding a new arch to the structure. This new arch can be seen inside the mosque where some plasters fall down. With Ihsan Engin Bal who is a doctorate student like me in Italy, we are dealing on this subject. Mr.Bal prepared a paper on this subject. We re trying to prepare a new paper on the effect of retrofitting by Sinan to this Mosque. If you want further information on this subject you can contact to Mr.Bal via ibal@roseschool.it or my email sadan@stru.polimi.it . his website is www.enginbal.net
Thank you again for such a work.

Susan, Canada
5/3/2006 Hello, my name is Maria,I have been to Istanbul last summer and I was suposed to spend 4 nights in Istanbul,I ended up stayin 3 weeks!! What a city, such great historic places,such great food,such great lifestyle. (I didnt want to return to the states) Turkish people are so healthy too!!!
5/11/2006 So which is it? Susan or Maria?
5/31/2006 Hi all, my name is Naim.First of all thank you for this great site.My country is very interesting because it is between west and east you can see difference between people from east of Turkey and west of Turkey.While people from west of Turkey talk about anti-american things you can see them with marlboro cigarettes,levi's jeans and coca cola,on the other hand while people from east of Turkey pieceful and love humanism ı mean every people in the world,you cant see them with amrican life style they just seem like theirself.Thats is a situation in Turkey now.While west ( EU and USA ) want us to show that they are not againist to mouslims,and also they want to control our economy and use our 20.000.000 teen people ( because they are alll old people) , east ( iran,Russia,China) want us to join them and stand againist west's cultural and military assaults.Also we have crazy problems like south cyprus's people ( mr no) and Armenians ( they really see us as their enemy but not they always speak behind USA and EU's arms.) also Iraq,iran,Syria oh my God ı forgot Greece fanatics.Now my friends you see where we are!!! But we are alive for 2000 years,had thousands of wars,changed our religion to Islam,sometimes killed sometimes kill.Now I am looking for what kind of adventures the future will bring us. ( soory for bad english) Bye.
6/14/2006 I just want to say the turks are such kind warm people i have been twice and enjoyed it both times we stayed in Kusadasi and drank in the shamrock bar every night the staff were warm and welcoming they even met me and my friends during the day and showed us just how beautiful Kusadasi was i especially want to thank Robert and Sean and of course little Daniel you are such wonderful people love Sheryl,Ali & Saleena XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
7/4/2006 Mashallah mashallah mashallah...am not turkish...am Arab but i love to see turkish mosques...they're sooo beautiful...great work....May Allah bless you...wasalam

2/27/2011 IT TOOK AN ARMENIAN TO BUILT ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL MOSQUES.TURKEY SHOULD GIVE THANKS TO ALL THE ARMENIANS NOT JUST FOR BUILDING ALL THOSE MOSQUES BUT ALSO FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR TURKEY THROUGH ALL THE AGES. INSTEAD THEIR THANKS WAS THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ARMENIAN RACE.

1/3/2013 This has nothing to do with Netanyahu, per se. Israel as a whole has been leaindg the Palestinians astray for 20 years with a dead-end peace process meant to facilitate more settlement construction and expansion. You know that, I know that, everyone in the Establishment knows that, although many refuse to admit it in public. In addition, the Palestine Papers have shown that Israel is not interested in any permanent and viable solution. Ergo, Turkey will undoubtedly look at Obama's offer as a simple case of patronizing international politics by an empire in decline. It's an attempt to co-opt Turkey so as to silence it and curtail its regional influence in the Middle East. This offer by Obama has AIPAC's fingerprints all over it. There is no point in denying that because AIPAC's influence on the White House has been well-established and well-documented. Turkey has already been betrayed once by Israel. In 2007/8 when Turkey mediated indirect peace talks between Syria and Israel, the trust it had assumed existed between it and Israel was shattered when Olmert lied to Turkey about an eminent attack on Gaza in late 2008. The bottom line is that the Turks are not fools and they realize that the game is fixed. Their next move should be to either ignore Obama's offer or to issue a statement that the Turkish government supports democratic principles, as such, it cannot prevent or stop private Turkish entities from peaceful solidarity with a people besieged in violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
