Tesvikiye Mosque

April 21, 2010 02:37 by haci

The Teşvikiye Mosque is a neo-baroque structure located in the Teşvikiye neighbourhood of Şişli district in Istanbul, Turkey. It was originally commissioned in 1794 by Sultan Selim III, but most of the current mosque that stands today was completed in 1854 during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecit. It was during this time that several well-known structures in Istanbul were being built or renovated, including Ortaköy Mosque and Dolmabahçe Palace, in styles imported from Europe. It is the front of the mosque, constructed during a renovation in the late 19th century, that gives it a unique appearance, with huge white columns. It has become a sort of stand-out symbol in the upscale, bustling quarter of Nişantaşı.

I cannot WAIT to read more of this.  I mean, you just know so much about this.  So much of it Ive never even thought of.  You sure did put a new twist on something that Ive heard so much about.  I dont believe Ive actually read anything that does this subject as good justice as you just did.

I have to say that Im really unimpressed with this.   I mean, sure, youve got some very interesting points.  But this blog is just really lacking in something.  Maybe its content, maybe its just the design.  I dont know.  But its almost like you wrote this because everybodys doing it.  No passion at all.

Im no expert, but I think you just made the best point.  You obviously know a lot about what youre talking about, and I can really get behind that.  Thanks for being so upfront and so honest about the subject matter.  I really feel like I have a better understanding now.

Im impressed, I must say.  Very rarely do I come across a blog thats both informative and entertaining, and let me tell you, youve hit the nail on the head.  Your blog is important; the issue is something that not enough people are talking intelligently about.  Im really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this issue.

If I might --perhaps you should consider adding a few images.  I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed.  However, I think would respond to it more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas.  Keep it up, but put a little more into it next time.

Wow, what a blog!  I mean, you just have so much guts to go ahead and tell it like it is.  Youre what blogging needs, an open minded superhero who isnt afraid to tell it like it is.  This is definitely something people need to be up on.  Good luck in the future, man.
