The photographs of two churches in the section "Church rugs in Transylvania" don't show rugs or at most barely show them.
Pictures of rugs in their church context should be better.
I'd love to add them, but there are currently no pictures available in Commons. I'm planning a trip to Transylvania next year and will provide photographs afterwards.--HajjiBaba (talk) 10:39, 29 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've modified the introduction as to show that the rugs as such truly represent an Islamic tradition or heritage (see edits by other users). Sultan Ahmed I's 1610 edict of Kütahya clearly demonstrates the awareness of this fact on the Ottoman side, as it specified which types of rug design were considered appropriate for sale to non-Muslims.
However, part of the interest in this heritage results from the observation that the objects, i.e., the rugs, had crossed the transcultural border in the past, but the knowledge about the cultural context had not. If anything is to be learned at all from these ancient objects today, it is our ability to recognise that we are not dealing with an issue of "ours" and "theirs", but that we are looking at two sides of one single medal. Both sides are inseparable. If we considered this more often in our times – and I think we can expand the line of thought to other topics – our world might hopefully become a more peaceful place.--HajjiBaba (talk) 16:48, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
