Islam's foothold in Japan
There's an imam in Osaka who's building up Islam's presence on the isle:
An Egyptian legal scholar based in Ibaraki, Osaka Prefecture, says he is working to increase understanding between the Japanese people and the more than 100,000 Muslims who live among them.
Islam has gradually put down roots in Japan. There are now around 60 mosques, many of them established in former private homes.
Mohsen Bayoumy, 55, the imam of one such mosque and a central figure in the Japan Halal Association, says awareness of the faith is on the rise.
Not only are there more restaurants serving halal meals cooked in accordance with Islamic dietary laws, but waiters at nonhalal restaurants often ask Muslim customers about their needs, he said.
I don't know how accurate this is, but no doubt, there is an Islamic presence in Japan, and it is dangerous. I hope most Japanese know better than to be seduced by such degradation.
