Picture of the week


They are building a mosque here in Ulaanbaatar (variously spelled Ulan Bator and Ulaan Bator). There are not a large number of Muslims in our city. The Kazakhs in the west are often Muslims, and there is a group of Muslims who live in a town not far from us.

I have heard that the mosque is being build with money from outside Mongolia. There are a number of expatriates who are Muslim who live in Ulaanbaatar, and there are a few Mongolian citizens who are Muslims who will worship at this mosque. I am certain that a well-built mosque will also attract the attention of other Mongolians. After all, this is being built at a prominent intersection.
