IINA - 05


Hamilton, Rajab 2, 1422/September 19, 2001 (IINA) - The message of Islam was brought to the North Pacific island of Berbuda about 25 years ago by African immigrants. At present there are about 400 Muslims in this island state with a total population of 62,000. Muslims in Bermuda are in need of Islamic educational institutions, mosques and Islamic centers to protect their identity.

The people of Bermuda love Islam and Muslims thanks to their Islamic roots. Many people in the country are likely to embrace Islam if proper dawa work is conducted using modern means.

Sheikh Sharif Al-Elmi, imam of the Muhammad Mosque in Hamilton, said drugs are one of the major problems facing the people of Bermuda. "We are making intensive effort to protect Muslims as well as non-Muslims from this scourge," the imam said. Bermuda has a total area of 58 square kilometers. The majority of its people are Christians. English is the official language but most people speak Portuguese.
