Hello? Eat my tarts? In this cosmic dance of bursting decadence, withheld permissions twist all our arms collectively. But if sweetness can win- and it can- then I'll still be here tomorrow to high five you yesterday my friend. Peace.
Here's some pictures of a mosque I'm building on a new RP server I'm working on.
The entrance
Carpeting (Day and night)
Entrance from inside
Shekh's office
Shekh's office from outside
Note: Shekh is the Muslim version of a priest, sorta.

Wow! That looks great!
Perhaps you could hook up some redstone wires to the note blocks inlayed with the carpet, and have it play a song
Lol, while I was working my friend spoon tried doing this... Unfortunately the entire foundation is smooth stone so it just made a bunch of annoying clicks...

That's a pretty cool mosque there! I've been following this topic and I hope for the best of your luck
Just out of curiousity, if you can't kill pigs and can't eat pigs, can you punch pigs?
Like I said before, my religion only prevents me from eating them. I could kill them if I wanted to, but it would be inconvenient, as I would be stuck with their meat. So I just avoid killing them. But I do like knocking them around from time to time.
And here's some pics of the front wall, which I just finished.
The front wall (Day and night)
View from the area where Khutbas are given.
Note: Khutbas are similar to mass... Sorta.

Good news, but first a backstory on this mosque. If you noticed, it's in the middle of a desert. But that's because it's not in the main city but in a bandit hideout. (Yes, very racist. But that's where the owner wanted me to put it). So I recently made a lookout tower on a nearby mountain, and we added a layer of harp noteblocks under the mosque and hideout, so now you can hit a lever in the tower and the entire desert goes all crazy with retardedly clocked notes! :biggrin.gif:

That's a very creative way to play the game. I have a tendency to come up with scenarios and act them up, and I actually had myself a minecraft Christmas party (I went hunting for a day and a night and ate a crapload of my bread reserve.) I've always wondered why people call religious people intolerant, but in general most religions teach tolerance. I'm a Christian and I don't mind Muslim people, all the Abrahamic religions teach tolerance, as well as Buddhism and Hinduism.

Awesome! =D
That might scare some poor passerby if you timed it right, haha
Also, as a response to the completed pictures you posted; it looks great! I like the ambiance of the glowing walls and roof. Is the roof made of Lapis Lazuli?

We must totally do that... And thanks. Yes, the dome is lapis lazuli. Like it? I know most mosques have golden domes, just with blue bases, but I like the look of the blue dome better.

Made a prayer calculation room! (Used Shafi prayer regulations) Here's some pictures:
The whole building
Entrance and area where you stand
The four windows from which to fit the sun, (Asha is after sunset so you can't see the sun...) and signs explaining use
Any suggestions?

Yes, I do like it! Also, if you wanted to have the gold still in there and if you had the right lighting, perhaps you could use gold to ring the dome instead of the other way around.
Also, i took a closer look at your dome, and it's more of a cone XD
I make a lot (and by alot, I mean all ) of my buildings domes, so I sat down with a sheet of graph paper, Microsoft paint, and the Wikipedia page for the Midpoint Circle Algorithm and calculated the Minecraft version of a perfect sphere.
(ick, this pic does not do my base justice...it's an old one haha, you can see the start of the construction for the main tower [and the shorter library] just beginning in the picture)
If you wish for your roof to be a little more dome-like without a major renovation, take off the top 3 layers (including the little glass one on top) and make it flat across. Then remake that small top glass layer in the middle of the flattened roof. =)

Yeah, I'm no good at big domes, and what you see is a revised version at that. My original one was a squarish pyramid... But I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.

Soloman, what if you never harvested food other then pork? Then you could eat it with out breaking the rules?
If you mean that was the only food I COULD harvest, then yes. But if you mean I just chose to not harvest anything else than no. That's like saying I went to a store and only bought pork ribs, and because it's the only food on me I eat it.

... or maybe it's because I want to see if it would somehow help me in the game, showing how good Islamic laws really are.
What
Yeah it's kinda worded weirdly, but an example could be that in Fallout, maybe not drinking any alcohol is a good thing, and I might do better overall in the game by not lowering my perception and int. with it.

Myeah. The brutal stonings of women who violate stupid rules, is also great.
Best religion.
=P Please, can we keep it about the application of Islam to Minecraft, and not an argument about whether or not people agree with Islamic rules.

Myeah. The brutal stonings of men and women who violate stupid rules, is also great.
Best religion.
Maybe if you had said that you would have looked more like someone who actually knew the religion and less like someone who learned everything they know about it from family guy.
On top of that I'm gonna assume you're Christian here, (and even if you weren't, by this logic you also hate Christianity and think it to be a cruel religion with stupid rules) have a look at some snipets from the bible.
For touching Mount Sinai
Whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death. Exodus 19:13
For taking "accursed things"
Achan ... took of the accursed thing. ... And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. ... So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Joshua 7:1-26
For cursing or blaspheming
And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him. Leviticus 24:16
For adultery (including urban rape victims who fail to scream loud enough)
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city. Deuteronomy 22:23-24
For animals (like an ox that gores a human)
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned. Exodus 21:28
For a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding night
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her ... and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: And the damsel's father shall say ... these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. ... But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die. Deuteronomy 22:13-21
For worshipping other gods
If there be found among you ... that ... hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them ... Then shalt thou ... tone them with stones, till they die. Deuteronomy 17:2-5
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers ... thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 13:5-10
For disobeying parents
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother ... Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city ... And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21
For witches and wizards
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:27
For giving your children to Molech
Whosoever ... giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. Leviticus 20:2
For breaking the Sabbath
They found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. ... And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones.... And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. Numbers 15:32-56
For cursing the king
Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 1 Kings 21:10
So although it was done by Muslims way back in the time when that was the normal way to kill people, it is not taught by Islam. And on top of that those Muslims were doing the horrible and evil act of stoning people while the Christians were walking around lobbing peoples heads off and doing other terrible torture methods. Take your pick: http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/murderers.htm
I would usually ignore comments like this but sorry, this one really rubbed me the wrong way. Have a nice day.
