The populatiion of this town is mixed, but is mainly bulgarian-christian. In the Middle Ages this town was a bulgarian fortress which was captured by the turks in the second half of XIV century.

A good proof about the turkish-moslem expansion at the expense of the bulgarians and of the other christians by the time of the turkish rule in the Balkans.

Well, it just shows that you are no different than the Turks whom you accuse of expansionism, because you did to their culture precisely what you accuse the Turks to have done to your. Besides Bulgarian culture in many Bulgarian towns survived for more than 500 years under Turk's rule, Turkish culture and architecture in Plovdiv did not even survive the first 50 years of Bulgarian rule. By the way lets not hijack this thread, reply in the Turks in Bulgaria section, if you will.
violantjack,
by the way Charge posted maps of the distribution of Turks in Bulgaria in the thread carrying the same title in Modern History. You can check them out if you want.

Fantastic thread folks! To date, likely on the top of my favorite posts here in this forum. Great pictures of the Masjids around the world. The Masjids in Bosnia were gorgeous as were the rest. Here is my contribution, notice the obvious chinese influenced styling of the breath taking Xian Masjid..

Having just read the article it turns out that it is actually not a muslim mosque, but an Ahmadyia mosque. The people refer to themselves as muslims are not recognised by the global community of muslims. The carry islamic influences in the same ways as the Bihai or Alevis.
The builders of this mosque belong to the Ahmadiya, who do not hold the cornerstone of belief that Mohammed was the last prophet. You can not b muslim if u dont, i think.

My personal favorite is the stunning Selimanye mosque in Erdine- quite unique and, as ever, built by that mastermind, Sinian! Bloody good piece of architecture!

Out of curiosity, can muslims from different sects( ie Sunni and Shiites) pray in the same mosque?

Simple answer, Yes.
For praying actually there is no need to a mosque. A muslim can pray any location/ground granting it is clean.
Friday (Cuma) prayings tradionally held at the biggest mosque of a city in most muslim countries. ( We do not follow this tradition in Turkey although)
