Any Muslims in Suncheon?

[Weigookin74]

I have no idea. But some small towns if they have foriegn workers in the local facotories may have some around. Any mosques around your town? Maybe if you go to Itaewon in Seoul and ask around if there are mosques around the country maybe they can help you. Or if you can find out the word for mosque in Korean and put Suncheon Mosque in Korean on Naver's search engine it might help you. I'm not muslim so I really don't know the scene.

Check other towns too. Yeosu is near there? Gwangju too?

It's a little way away on the train, but Jeonju has a mosque close to the railway station (behind Homeplus) - there are several Muslim students at the universities there and quite a few workers in Iksan who also go there.

Here is a listing of all mosques in Korea, according to the Korea Muslim Federation:

The closest one is in either Jeonju or Busan. There's a chance, though, that you might find other Muslims in the area who are praying together in someone's house or some other location.

Thank you all for the help. I will look into the information that you all provided. Also, thanks for the KMF website and directions on how to get to the Jeonju Mosque, it's really useful. I haven't seen any Mosques in Suncheon but I have been to the one in Itaewon, Seoul and I've called the Busan one before. I think there is, or was, a Mosque in Gwangju but so far the nearest known ones from me seem to be in Jeonju and Busan. Besides me, I'm sure the information that has been supplied here will also benefit others who have similar questions.

Thank you for being respectful. Stick to the TOS, don't get involved in religious debates, discussions. Feel free to find fellow chess players, D&D players, people of your faith, vegetarians, but for pity's sake respect people, or we have to lock posts that end up in flames and penalize those people causing the problems.
