Islam In Ecuador
Islam is a minority religion in Ecuador. The Pew Research Center estimates that Ecuador has a Muslim population of about 2,000, representing 0.1% out of the total population of 16,965,000 inhabitants. History The first Muslim settlers in Ecuador were primarily Arabs who emigrated from the Middle East during World War I and thereafter from former territories of the Ottoman Empire. They settled mostly in Quito, Ambato and Guayaquil with smaller communities in Manabí, Los Ríos, and Esmeraldas provinces. Levantine Christians and Muslims created a secular ethnic organization called ''Lecla'' in the 1940s and The Arab Club in the 1980s. By the mid-1990s, naturalized citizens and native Muslims of Arab extraction were using a private apartment located in Avenue Los Shyris and Eloy Alfaro as a communal prayer venue, especially on Fridays. At a later day, the Egyptian Embassy provided another private apartment for the same purposes. The Centro Islámico del Ecuador, founded on Oct ...
