    Mosque Presence in Asia


    *Only counts masajid (mosques); excludes musallayat (prayer rooms) and smaller Islamic centers.

    *May miss very obscure mosques or those not available online.

      The one in North Korea is part of the Iranian embassy. Had to google, was so confused for a second

      Strange, how Megrelian part of Georgia seems to not have mosques, after all, Ajaria is just next door, and the whole area was part of Turkey for quite a while.

      I’m pretty surprised there are no mosques in Pskov and Smolensk Oblasts. They are not small places with about 600,000 and 900,000 inhabitants respectively, and Russia has a pretty big Muslim population which I would have though spread out more. I would assume(and a quick look at Wikipedia seems to not disprove this) that there are Muslims living in both Oblasts, just not enough, or too dispersed to organise a mosque.

      my first time travelling to a Muslim majority city, I was excited to be around the culture and cuisine, the mosque near where I was staying made sure I felt welcomed, as they would have the call to prayer playing on the speakers from 3:30am.

      It was a good trip but I was quite happy to sleep in again when back home.

      I wonder why there is no data for the West Bank.

      I don’t think that there is any dispute that there are mosques there. Indeed, I’ve seen them personally.

      There are several active mosques in Mongolian capital where kazakhs living in UB goes to.

      I feel like southern Vietnam (champa area, along the coast) should at least have some yellow spots, they used to be a muslim kingdom and many muslims still live in that area.

      No mosques in a bunch of the traditional Cham parts of Vietnam? That’s very surprising, to the point that I would expect the data must be incomplete.

      Armenia has only 1 standing mosque and it’s functional. Wengusted it to the Embassy or Iran after independence.

      I’m surprised there is a mosque in Novaya Zemlya (the bigger island in the left upper corner). That’s the island where the USSR detonated Tsar Bomba and it only has a population of about 2,300 to 3,500 people.

      It’s kinda funny how some people are so hateful that they’re glazing the red places which includes north Korea

    25. barlung on

      There is a big red spot on the north of Russia, and yet the islands on the north of Russia like Franz Josef Land where no people live are green

      I would note that in many of the green places, Islam (and other religions) is heavily supervised by the government. So it’s permitted but subject to restrictions and oversight of the government.

      Xinjiang is obviously the most notable example.

      Many Mosques in Myanmar are really old and the government doesn’t allow renovation to the bs religion propaganda mindset they have. Sadly, many of those old mosques collapsed during the 2025 high magnitude earthquake and killed a lot of muslims praying in them

      There is a mosque north west of Mongolia. I was there while traveling through Mongolia on my motorcycle in 2017.

      I’m surprised New Taipei City, the biggest city in Taiwan* doesn’t have any. I think the map marked Keelung as green, but it doesn’t have any. Penghu, which also doesn’t have any, isn’t marked at all on the map.

      *it’s the biggest city but usually counted as part of Greater Taipei metropolitan area
