Islam in Laos

Muslims are a small minority in Buddhist-majority Laos and constitute about 0.01% of the population. Muslims are visible in the capital, Vientiane, which has a mosque.

The Muslim population is mostly engaged in trade and manage meat shops. A small community of Cham Muslims from Cambodia who escaped the Khmer Rouge is also found. Muslims live primarily in urban areas.

A new mosque was built in Oudomxay in June 2016.
