What do a desert in New Mexico, a cornfield in Ohio and a street in New York City have in common? They are home to mosques. Take a look at some of America’s more than 2,000 mosques, where the country’s Muslims worship.
The Diyanet Center of America, in Lanham, Maryland, is also known as the Turkish American Community Center. The center’s mosque is part of a 6-hectare complex that includes a traditional Turkish bathhouse and other facilities. The center hopes its mosque and its campus are “a source of pride for the American Muslim community.” (Courtesy photo)
