Islam in Tonga

Tonga is an overwhelmingly Christian majority country, with adherents of Islam being a minuscule minority. Due to secular nature of the Tonga's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country. Most Muslims in Tonga belong to either Sunni or Ahmadiyya denominations. The number of Muslims was estimated at less than 1000 in 2010 by the Pew Research Center[1] in a population of about 108,000, while a report by the Fiji Muslim League estimated that in 2002 there were about 70 Muslim Tongan nationals out of a Muslim population of 100.[2]
