It turns out that in religion there is a place for creativity! Look - the Pink Mosque, or Masjid Dimaukom, was built in 2014 in the municipality of Datu Saudi Ampatuan (Maguindanao province, Philippines) by the beginning of Ramadan.
According to the mayor Samsodin Dimaukom, who initiated the construction of the mosque, the pink color of the building embodies peace, love and mutual understanding. But we recently found out that it turns out that pink does not exist.
Let's take a closer look at it …
Also pink is his wife's favorite color.
The mosque was built by Christian workers, which is also intended to symbolize unity and interfaith brotherhood.

At the direction of the mayor, the city hall, police stations, market and other buildings were also repainted in pink.
Islam in the Philippines is practiced by 5% of the population, 80.9% are Roman Catholic, 11.6% are Protestant, and some of the Filipinos adhere to traditional pagan beliefs.
Most Muslims are concentrated in the southern Philippines, where the Moro Islamic Liberation Front operates and periodically sectarian armed conflicts erupt.
