Dar al-Islam Mosque

Even though northern New Mexico is predominantly Catholic, I'm learning that people of diverse religions and spiritual paths are accepted here. Even so, it's wild to think of finding a Muslim mosque in the middle of Georgia O'Keeffe country.
The name Dar al-Islam means "place of surrender" which aptly desribes the beautiful 1000 acre site of the mosque. The place was bought in 1979 by Nurideen Durkee (of the famous spice family) for
$1, 372,000. It was established as a foundation to further the understanding of Islamic life and education.
