From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 100.42.89.172 (talk) at 03:07, 7 August 2016 (In one of the sources posted by the creator of this article, it is stated that the number of Muslim families in Costa Rica number 500, not 50. I edited for consistency.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The statistics for Islam in Costa Rica is around 500 families, or 0.001% of the population. There are very few Islamic organizations in San José including the Islamic Association of Costa Rica led by Secretary General Dr. Abdul Fatah Sasa,[1] and the Centro Cultural Musulmán de Costa Rica in Alajuela led by Jenny Rashida Torres.[2] The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community only established in the country as recent as 2013.[3]
