Shakil Patel is a Loma Linda, California-based architect known for his work designing mosques for Muslim congregations in California. Early lifeA British Indian, Patel was born in Blackburn, UK. He moved to Oxford in 2015, choosing the town because, as a religious Muslim, he does not drink alcoholic beverages, and was attracted by the fact that Oxford, which was founded by Seventh-day Adventists, was legally dry.[1] Patel served a 10-year term as City Planning Commissioner, consistently voting against lifting the ban on selling alcohol.[1][2] He is a member of the Board of Directors.[3] CareerPatel is known for designing mosques that fit into the California landscape by combining elements of California's Spanish colonial style with traditional Islamic features such as minarets and/or tower and pointed arches.[4] Patel's buildings include the Islamic Center of Riverside,[5] the Islamic Center of the South Bay,[6] and the Ontario, California masjid.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Miller|first1=Bettye Wells|title=Inland man's faith shapes way of life // Patel ; The science finds his piety fits well with comparably spiritual neighbors|publisher=The Press-Enterprise|date=August 21, 2005}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Patel, Shakil}}2. ^{{cite news|last1=Obsatz|first1=Sharon|title=Planners OK beer, wine permit: The commission approved a controversial application for a Barton Road restaurant|publisher=The Press-Enterprise|date=September 21, 2000}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Board of Directors|url=http://www.aiaic.org/board-of-directors/|publisher=American Institute of Architects Inland California|accessdate=January 5, 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Marquez|first1=Lizete|title=Muslim organization to open place of worship in Ontario|url=http://www.sbsun.com/article/zz/20100610/NEWS/100619103|accessdate=January 5, 2016|publisher=The San Bernardino Sun|date=June 10, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Islamic Center of Riverside|url=http://dome.mit.edu/handle/1721.3/30122|publisher=MIT|accessdate=January 5, 2016}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Federal lawsuit over proposed Lomita Islamic center settled|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/02/islamic-center-lawsuit-lomita-settled.html|accessdate=January 5, 2016|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=February 4, 2013}} 7 : Indian emigrants to the United States|American Muslims|21st-century American architects|Living people|People from Loma Linda, California|American businessmen of Indian descent|Year of birth missing (living people) |
