Muslims Plan Islamic centre

Muslims Plan Islamic centre

             

 

ST. GEORGE: The Islamic Students Society (ISS) in the Caribbean island state of Grenada has embarked on a project to establish an Islamic centre, which will include a Mosque, a cultural centre, an Islamic library, an Islamic science school for adults and a centre to train Imams.

The society, which was established by 30 Muslim students at the American Medical College here, has already bought a piece of land for the project.

Islam came to this small 122 square mile island as early as 17th century with the arrival of Black Africans who were kidnapped and enslaved by the European colonialists. Muslims revolted against the degrading conditions of slavery and improved their living, but were eventually defeated and liquidated in a savage counter attack by the colonial forces.

The Grenada government has recognized the Muslim group, and provided them with a piece of land for the construction of an Islamic centre. (IINA)
