   Architecture and calligraphy, for two. Not a hard extrapolation,   
   considering the breathtaking stuff that real live Muslims have done in   
   this world. I guess the question is, would there be portraiture? The   
   Persians always thought so, but others seem to consider those Muslims not   
   entirely Mere. Kind of like another Abrahamic religion.
