You are so right Challenger,moreover they invented Universities,Mathmatics,Achemedies Screw before the Greek was born 200 years before.....water viaducts and transportation of such over vast distances,building codes,agriculture and so on....steveStolen from other nations and claimed as their own. As your link says inspired by the former Sassanid and Byzantine models ............. and The Dome of the Rock (Qubbat al-Sakhrah) in Jerusalem (691) is one of the most important buildings in all of Islamic architecture. It is patterned after the nearby Church of the Holy Sepulchre[5] and Byzantine Christian artists were employed to create its elaborate mosaics against a gold background.[1][6] The great epigraphic vine frieze was adapted from the pre-Islamic Syrian style.[7] The Dome of the Rock featured interior vaulted spaces, a circular dome, and the use of stylized repeating decorative arabesque patterns.

The semicircular arch became a popular feature in Islamic structures. Some suggest the Muslims acquired this from the Visigoths in Spain[8] but they may have obtained it from Syria and Persia where the horseshoe arch had been in use by the Persian and Byzantines as early as the 5th century.[9] After the Moorish invasion of Spain in 711 AD the form was taken by the Umayyads who accentuated the curvature of the horseshoe.[

The Great Mosque of Damascus (completed in 715 by caliph Al-Walid I),[11] built on the site of the basilica of John the Baptist after the Islamic invasion of Damascus, still bore great resemblance to 6th and 7th century Christian basilicas.
So as I said all stolen from other nations.
And you think that architecture in the UK came from where exactly?
Let me ask you a question... Marble Arch, London... Where was the architectural influence for that design from?
Let me save you the embarrassment of looking it up and making yourself look like a twat...
It came from Rome and Paris...
So, is that ok? Or is that "stolen architecture"?
You are simply a belligerent, racist prick Phoney!
I suppose you will be voting UKIP next month too!
Did I say that Britain did not copy other cultures architecture, no I didn't. But we did have a style all to our own with such structures as Stonehenge and Longbarrows.
The arabs had nothing at all they stole everything from the cultures they destroyed, and they are now destroying those cultures religious symbols.
Now let me ask you a question why are you so arrogant and stupid when it is shown the arab muslims have done nothing to enhance humanity in the 1400 years of their existence.
Depends on if they an offer me something the other parties don't, like a complete ban on all immigration and repatriation and/or deportation for migrants that break the law.
Phoney, Phoney, Phoney, the sheer depth and breadth of your ignorance beggars belief. Stone circles existed everywhere from Egypt and Turkey, to even America, at least 3000 years before Stonehenge was built, barrows were even more common.
As for Arab Muslims, next time you have a glass of beer or wine, thank an Arab Muslim. If you, or someone you know wears glasses, thank an Arab Muslim, next time you switch on a light, thank an Arab Muslim, next time you survive a medical operation, thank an Arab Muslim. Muslims contributed vast amount of ideas and knowledge that helped create the world as it is today.
Whoah, let's not get carried away, Universities, Mathematics, etc were around before Islam, however Muslim scholars and scientists managed to recover a lot of ancient knowledge that would have been otherwise lost and built on those foundations by adapting and improving them. Sir Isaac Newton famously said, "If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." European scientists and scholars adopted adapted and improved the work done by their Muslim forebears, that's how science and technology evolves.
Keep trying as the evidence was retrieved by non muslims and then stolen and claimed by the arab muslims, and as the evidence shows they did nothing with the stolen knowledge because they did not have the brain power to use it.
