[edit] Desirable info

The article would be better if we had info on any of these:

  • Architectural style; building layout. Even basic description: It has a minaret XX meters high, a this, a that...
  • Size; seating capacity
  • Artwork, mosaics?
  • Prior use/history of the site.
  • What organization(s) control the space, do different groups share it? Who are the clerics?
  • History (who paid for building, who designed it, Jordanian renovations)

Close-up images of any interesting features. Or with people making use of the mosque? Some ideas, thanks. HG | Talk 02:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow! I am going to have to dig deep for that, since there not that many sources on the net about the mosque. Architectural style could probably be found though. Thanks for your suggestions and great work on the article! --Al Ameer son (talk) 02:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A tiny thing

If the mosque is the only one, among what mosques is it the oldest?!! -- 213.6.9.215 (talk) 09:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

LOL, good point. What's the history of mosques in Bethlehem?

Tangential thing -- Anyone care to make a more beautiful the Mosques template? Thanks. HG | Talk 15:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Seriously! Its very plain and spacious. And its lists of mosques in each continent is pointless. --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
