The only African and European country without a single mosque despite having Muslims

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 Source: Ghana Trends

It's as difficult for Muslims in some parts of the world as it is for Christians in others. Some democracies still do not allow Muslims full religious freedom. In this article, we will look at the few countries in Africa and Europe where Muslims live but there is not even a single mosque.

Slovak Republic is the only EU country without a mosque. In 2010, Slovakia was home to approximately 5,000 Muslims. Less than one-tenth of one percent of the global population is Slovak. On November 30, 2016, the government of Slovakia formally renounced Islamic recognition as a religion. Because of this, Slovakia does not have any mosques.

Sao Tome and Principe is the only African nation with a single mosque. The majority of naysayers are devout Christians, especially Roman Catholics. Islam, on the other hand, is practised by a tiny fraction of the population compared to Christianity. This is why the region contains no mosques.
