| HISTORY WEEK MEME | DAY 4: ONE BUILDING/LOCATION/ARCHITECTURE |

↳ Dome of the Rock, Old City of Jerusalem, Palestine 

“Dome of the Rock was completed in 691 CE under the Umayyad Empire by Abd al-Malik. The original dome collapsed in 1015 CE but was rebuilt by 1022-23. It is one of the oldest pieces of Islamic Architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also considered as Jerusalem’s most recognizable landmark along with the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulchre.“ 

[There] are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any iniquity. All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness. Not the really high, creative loathesomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul. Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality. They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don’t say no.

Lord Vetinari, (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)

Get up. Go vote. Say no.
