[00:04.34]was, and still is, its absence of human and animal images.
[00:09.65]This reflects the Islamic belief that these images are unholy.
[00:14.68]Thus, on palaces, mosques and other buildings,
[00:19.04]Islamic artists have created unique decoration of great beauty

[00:35.99]Art also reflects the religious beliefs
[00:38.78]of traditional cultures in these places.
