Bangladeshi Americans start the Jamaica Muslim Center
Masjid Al-Mamoor, also called the Jamaica Muslim Center, was begun in 1976, mostly by Bangladeshi Americans, in a part of Jamaica with a large Bangladeshi-American community. It is now one of the largest multi-purpose Muslim centers in Jamaica, combining a mosque, a school, space for religious gatherings and dining facilities, along with a religious Hifz class known as Jamiah Qurania Academy.
