Grand Opening of World’s Northernmost Mosque Set for November 5
Korans for the Eskimos

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
A mosque with a 30 foot minaret grows on the frozen tundra of the Arctic Circle.
It is located in Inuvik, a town with a population of 3,484 in the Northwest Territory of Canada.
Inuvik is inhabited largely by indigenous peoples. The Inuvialuit comprise 40% of the town’s population; the First Nations 20%; and the Metis and other aboriginals 5%.
Only 36% is non-native.
Yet this remote outpost, where temperatures fall to -100%F in the dead of winter, is home to over hundred Muslims.
The grand opening of the world’s most northernmost mosque is set for November 5.
The Arctic adherents to Islam are largely Sunni Muslim immigrants from Sudan, Lebanon and Egypt, who moved to Canada’s far north in search of jobs and economic opportunities.
The 100 – 200 Muslims of Inuvit could not afford to build a new mosque in the town, where prices for labor and materials are substantially higher than in southern parts of Canada, project coordinator Ahmad Alkhalaf said.
But they located a supplier of prefabricated buildings in Manitoba, who agreed to ship a structure to Inuvik for half the price of building a mosque from scratch on site.
The mosque was transported down the McKenzie River by barge in September.
The minaret was erected last week.
The combined structure has been painted bright yellow and has been wired to glow throughout the 30 days of polar night.
“It’s really beautiful when we turn on the lights in the dark,”�� Amier Suliman, a mosque committee member, told the press.
The new mosque occupies land that once housed a Roman Catholic Church. The Muslims say they are making great gains in converting the natives.
Welcome to the brave, new world.
