Are there any mosques in Liechtenstein? I like to visit a local mosque in every city I visit. Any Idea?

There seems to be a small mosque in Liechtenstein, the green mosque in Triesen (about 2km from the city center of Vaduz), that is also mentioned in this travel stub about Liechtenstein for "Halal-conscious travelers". The local population of Muslims only numbers about 2000, but according to Wikipedia, there is one yearly work permit offered for an Imam.

Why Only 2000 ... ? That's more or less 5 % of the population (provided the information is correct)! Quite a lot. – Marcel C. Jan 25 at 18:24

Yet another perspective: Liechtenstein is a rather rural area. No big city. Compare the proportion of Muslims to the proportion in a comparable region in Germany. Then the 5% may be high again. – Marcel C. Jan 25 at 19:39

think they mean that it's not economical to build a large mosque for just 2000 people in a country where there's no active islamisation campaign funded by Saudi (or other big oil) groups so that the locals have to fund it themselves. This is a different situation from Indonesia, where villages are paid millions by Saudi groups to build mosques in exchange for sending people on the Hadj. – jwenting Jan 26 at 6:09

According to Google maps there are not. The closest one seems to be in neighboring Austria. Being such a small country, Liechtenstein is, this Mosque is still in almost walking distance from Liechtenstein. It is only 10 km away from the capital Vaduz

In about 2001 I rollerbladed from Vaduz to Austria, and the first thing I noticed about Austria in comparison to Liechtenstein was that everybody there was Turkish! (-; – hippietrail Jan 27 at 6:27
