Islam is a minority religion in Liechtenstein.

Demographics

According to the census taken in 2000, there were an estimated 2,000 Muslims living in the country in 2009, approximately 4.8% of the general population. [2] In the 2010 census, 5.4% of the population (1960 persons) were Muslims; the number rose to 5.9% in the 2015 census. [3]

Contents

In 2020, Muslims constituted 6.27% of the population. [4] According to the Pew Research Center, this number is projected to remain constant through 2030. [5]

The great majority of Muslims in Liechtenstein are Sunni, and are predominantly from Turkey, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia. [6] The census reports do not state the proportion of the Muslim population holding Liechtenstein citizenship.

Overview

Since 2001, the government has granted the Muslim community a residency permit for one imam, and one short-term residency permit for an additional imam during Ramadan. [7]

In 2006, the government contributed US$20,000 (25,000 Swiss francs) to the Muslim community. [8]
