    Well this is good question. As you probably know, all "Islamic" architecture came from pre-islamic Persian architecture after the muslim conquest of Persia. When different Middle Eastern groups began mimicking Persian architecture they tried to develope their own styles. The Arabs started used square minarets very commonly and they worked on blending that architecture with the architecture of Africa. The Ottomans on the other hand tried to impress others with the size of their mosques and blended Persian architecture with that of the Byzantines. Persian Architecture became more and more detailed in Persia as time passed because in Iran architecture is sometimes considered an art. Persians have always had a tradition of focusing on detail. Just look at Persepolis. It is 2500 years old and everything that remains on it is covered in detail.

    that photo from the Burj is so fake, some buildings are seen from bottom to top, i.e the picture of the building at the right side “called the Index” is showing the whole building, from the ground floor to the 70th, completely fake!
