Hello,

I'm intrested in learning about Islamic Art, specifically, the patterns
and geometric shapes represented in the art. I'd really appreciate any
good refrences and/or web sites that you know about. Thanks a lot.

Be careful; certain sectarians will try to convince you that all the
great and beautiful achievements of Islamic civilization are "haram"
and that music, art, poetry are bad, but stonings, whippings, and
amputations are good. I hope they don't succeed in giving Islam an
undeserved purely negative reputation.
