Islam in Chile

Chile is a predominantly Christian country, with adherents of Islam being a minuscule minority. Due to the secular nature of Chile's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country. The statistics for Islam in Chile estimate a total Muslim population of approximately 5,000, representing less than 0.02% of the population. There are a number of Islamic organizations in Chile, including the Muslim Society of Chile and As-Salam Mosque (Spanish: Sociedad Musulmana de Chile y Mezquita As-Salam) in Santiago, Bilal Mosque (Mezquita Bilal) in Iquique, the Mohammed VI Cultural Center (Centro Cultural Mohammed VI) in Coquimbo, and Islamic Foundation of Chile in Santiago.
