Statistics for Islam in Bolivia estimate a Muslim population of around 3,000, representing 0.02% out of the total population of 11,220,000 inhabitants.[1][2]
In 2004 the first official Sunni mosque, the Yebel An Nur Mosque, was founded in 2004 in La Paz. The Yebel An Nur Mosque remains self-funded with close ties to the Sunni Bolivian Islamic Center of Santa Cruz while the As-Salam Mosque receives both Sunni and Shia followers, connections, and funding.[3][4]
