Thank you Franco, you are always kind!
In reality, the explanation in the caption is not exhaustive and the photo represents a pretext to discuss current issues (it is not for nothing that I decided to call it "Erdogan's mosque").
Istanbul is carpeted with mosques with 1 or 2 minarets, think of the Hagia Sophia Mosque and the Blue Mosque, so I wondered why Erdogan decided to build a new one in 2019 with even 6 minarets...
It makes you think, don't you think?

Hi Viola,
in fact the title "Erdogan's mosque" opens the opportunity for an in-depth study.
It is necessary to consider the policy of 'religious redemption' promoted over time by Erdogan.
I will continue in the next post, because I don't want to risk superficiality and I have to verify some of Erdogan's 'historic decisions'.
See you later....

Thanks for the tip! It must be a very interesting book.
Certainly Erdogan is trying to create the image of an Islamic civilization on the rise, but is he just a 'megalomaniac' or should he rather be considered as a spokesman for several countries united by the same culture and religion?
I read that among the major financiers for the construction of mosques in Europe and in the world are Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Seeing this mosque, which for me is a warning as well as a symbol of supremacy, made me think about the future.
I would like to know your prediction

Erdogan would like to impose himself as the 'guide' of Islamic countries and of Islam in general: he wants to be the 'leader of Islam'!
This, perhaps, also as a personal redemption.

Yes, I agree.
Islamic religiosity is much more felt than Christian religiosity, despite the fact that there are different currents within it such as Sunni and Shiite.
Turkey could be the first NATO country to join the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) that expanded at the beginning of the year to include Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia.
Not only an economic association, but also a geostrategic alliance.
Let's say that by putting the various pieces together, it seems to me that a fairly risky picture is emerging for Europe.

I think that this photograph does not seek formal perfection and is deliberately devoid of any retouching in post production: the hard light, the closed shadows and the cold dominant draw a landscape that has nothing friendly about it.
Those minarets look like ballistic missiles ready to be launched, they remind me of the reinterpretation of a work by Escher, where birds mutated into combat planes.
The religious sentiment of individuals lends itself to being manipulated and become a very effective tool for orienting and governing the masses; this happens especially in regions with ever-increasing demographic curves, outside the borders of a West that, instead, has found the beacon of progress in the denial of its roots... I think the near future is already written.
Hello Viola.

Thank you Michele, for your very clear summary.
No, I didn't look for formal perfection, so much so that it's a photo (postcard :-P ) taken from a boat while I was crossing the Bosphorus.
To be honest I have cropped the sky a bit in post.
However I published it just as food for thought in order to exchange opinions with people prepared and interested in these topics like you.
The reference to Escher is interesting! A nice association!
Thank you very much for participating and thank Franco once again!
Have a nice day!
