::However, the two examples I gave you do. The Qasr Ibn Warden church has a pointed arch, while the Deyrulzafran Monastery has a flat arch. My examples disprove the Islamic claim, the examples given thus far do not.

:::This is the original claim which is being refuted: | |||
::::The '''pointed arch''' so characteristic of Europe's Gothic cathedrals was an invention borrowed from Islamic architecture. It was much stronger than the rounded arch used by the Romans and Normans | |||
:::The refutation of that is present in the existing text as: | |||
::::"it was in fact the Assyrians (not the Muslims) who first used it as early as 722 BC.[41]" | |||
:::If you were trying to refute the pointed arch, we cant do that by posting a picture of a circular arch (like Mardin, the picture you posted). | |||
:::If you disagree please start with quoting the original claim in the quote that you are addressing. This issue will have to wait in any case until and if {{user|Sahab}} comes by. I feel the existing article text does a good job of refuting what is present and its not an emergency to add additional refutation text. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 16:56, 15 July 2015 (PDT) | |||
