阿塞拜疆的清真寺 Azerbaijan Mosque

Azerbaijan Mosque, Azerbaijan 阿塞拜疆的清真寺,阿塞拜疆,1999


中文注释：
清真寺在阿塞拜疆再次盛行。阿塞拜疆主要是一个穆斯林国家。它拥有2000个清真寺，而在苏联的统治下其中的18个几乎被关闭。阿塞拜疆人的传统在多年的官方无神论中，他们正被伊斯兰教的一个普通仪式吸引。这个仪式关于伊朗的懊恼，它担心它的人民会羡慕北边的国家。

英文注释：
Azerbaijan Mosque, Azerbaijan, 1999
"Mosques again flourish in Azerbaijan, a mostly Muslim country that saw all but 18 of its 2,000 mosques shut down under Soviet rule. Their traditions muted by years of official atheism, Azerbaijanis are gravitating toward a moderate practice of Islam—to the chagrin of Iran, which fears its people will look north with envy."

—From "The Rise and Fall of the Caspian Sea," May 1999, National Geographic magazine
