Muslim Mosques & Muslim Minority in Cambodia

Muslim Mosques & Muslim Minority in Cambodia 
Zakaria Bin Ahmad cannot forget the years of horror under the brutal Khmer Rouge when even praying was to risk death for Cambodia’s persecuted minority Muslims. Many others in his community did not survive the late 1970s reign of terror by the hardline communist regime, which executed Islamic scholars, destroyed mosques, forced Muslims to eat pork and forbade headscarves. People tried all kinds of ways to pray. Sometimes while they were driving an ox cart ... sometimes in the jungle when we asked to use the toilet, and sometimes while we were washing,” the 61-year-old said. Mostly, though, he remembers people disappearing, never to be seen again.

Largest group of Muslims in Cambodia & Vietnam

Largest group of Muslims in Cambodia
In August some of our Deaf Development Programme staff visited a young deaf woman who has set up a small business along the road in front of her house. To reach her village, we passed through a largely Muslim area. The Chams are basically an ethnic group but because the majority of them have been Muslim, the word "cham" today is almost synonomous in Cambodia with "Muslim." Thus Kampong Cham Province is where the largest group of Muslims are found in Cambodia where Muslims--all Sunnis--are about 3% of the population.
