List of Muslim mosques in Cambodia & Vietnam

List of Muslim mosques in Cambodia & Vietnam

Their Islamic religion stands in stark contrast to the overly Buddhist population. Nowadays the tensions between both religions are nearly non-existent, but still both populations like to go their own ways. But under the Pol Pot regime the Cham population faced a genocide and it’s estimated that as many as half a million Cham were killed. You will come across many mosques in Cambodia and occasionally you will see women wearing the burqa [burka], but most often less conservative, colorful head-scarfs with beautiful ornaments and adornments.
