Islam Finder - Mongolia

The recent visit of president Rahmon of Tajikistan to Mongolia was the last one in a row of Islamic dignitaries. But also on the web, the islamic side of Mongolia becomes more apperent. There is a website that lists the prayer times in Mongolia. Of the Indian restaurants in town only Hazara gets a listing. Not sure if that reflects the religious orientation of the owners. Funny enough there is also mentioning of the islamic employees at Oyu Tolgoi mines. Somehow i doubt they are Kazakh….

Maybe the new Hazara Scholarship student mentioned by Asian Gipsy will get a listing soon. Not related to the restauarant, but to the Mongol Hazara ethnic group.  What a great initiative, and especially for a private foundation!
