Picture of the Week: Kashgar's Id Kah Mosque

*The following is a scheduled article.  Until noted otherwise, my ability to access the internet has been completely cut off*




Although the face of Kashgar is rapidly changing with the demolition of the Old Town, one part of the city remains proudly standing: the Id Kah Mosque.  This is reportedly the biggest mosque in all of China and during the major Muslim holidays is stuffed with tens of thousands of worshippers who gather to pray (see a video of this event here).
