Islam in Vietnam

Mosque in Ho Chi Minh City

While the practice of Islam in Vietnam is primarily associated with the Cham people, an Austronesian minority ethnic group, roughly one-third of Muslims in Vietnam are of other ethnic groups.[1][2] There is also a community which describes itself as of mixed ethnic origins (Cham, Khmer, Malay, Minang, Viet, Chinese, and Arab), that practices Islam and also describes themselves as the Cham, or Cham Muslims, around the region of Châu Đốc.[3]
