A massive diplomatic storm is brewing in Japan! A newly constructed mosque in Kawagoe City has just been ordered for demolition by Japanese authorities after being flagged as completely illegal. Pakistan’s Ambassador to Japan actually attended the grand opening, sparking outrage. Kawagoe City’s mayor has made it clear that the municipality will not tolerate the intentional violation of Japan’s building laws.
Unfortunately, Japan’ has allowed its Muslim population to grow from approximately 110,000 in 2010 to about 420,000 by the end of 2024. The number of mosques surged from just five in 1999 to around 160 by 2025.
