Samoa is mainly a secularChristian majority country, with adherents ofIslam being a minority.
The introduction of Islam into the country began centuries ago. But in recent years significant attention was brought in the 1980s when theSaudi Arabia-basedWorld Assembly of Muslim Youth andMalaysia-based Regional Islamic Da'wah Council of Southeast Asia and the Pacific began theirdawah activities in Pacific countries.[1]
There is one prominent mosque(masjid mariam) in the country, although small prayer rooms can be found across the island.[2][3] located in the village ofVaiusu.[4]
During the 2001 census, Muslims accounted for 0.03% of the population.[5] The Western Samoa Muslim League is the Islamic organisation in the country which was established in 1986.[6]
