Islam in Luxembourg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muslims in Luxembourg are a minority together with: Protestants, Orthodox Christians, and Jews. Islam is not legally recognized in the country.

According to the EUMC report, there are about 6,000 Muslims in Luxembourg. Up until the 70s the Muslim population was very small. In the mid-70s the Muslim population counted 300 people, going up to 3,000 by the mid-90s. Since then the population doubled due to asylum seekers from former Yugoslavia. These asylum seekers are not expected to stay more than a few years.

Of the 6,000 registered Muslims, 65% come from former Yugoslavia: 1,900 from Bosnia-Herzegovina and 1,800 from Montenegro.

The Muslim community has no specifically built mosque and uses the Islamic Cultural Center of Luxembourg as a prayer place.

Veil wearing women in public is quite rare.
