Islam in Nicaragua
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Statistics for Islam in Nicaragua are not readily available, but according to Fahmi Hassan, President of the Asociación Cultural Nicaragüense-Islámica [1] the Muslim population is near 500, mostly Arabs who immigrated to Nicaragua from the Palestinian territories and Lebanon, in addition to a growing number of indigenous converts. Recently the first mosque was constructed in the country on a parcel of land measuring three thousand meters in the San Juan district with a capacity for nearly one thousand people.
