Islam in Wales

Islam in Wales (Welsh: Islam yng Nghymru), is a minority faith followed by 2.1% of the population of Wales, making Islam the second most practiced religion in the country after Christianity.

Wales became home to the oldest Muslim communities in the British Isles during the early nineteenth century, with Muslim seafarers establishing their homes in the country's ports during the Industrial Revolution in Wales. However, there is also more ancient evidence of Muslim converts and Islamic influence throughout the country.
