SUBJECT: MUSLIM OUTREACH WORLDWIDE 
 
REF: STATE 155954 (C) 
 
1. Embassy Madrid welcomes this Muslim Outreach initiative 
and provides the following information about our outreach 
efforts: 
 
2.  Brief Context for Muslim Outreach efforts in Spain:  An 
estimated 500,000 to one million Muslims live in Spain. 
Almost all are of foreign origin, with only about 3,000 
being Spaniards who have converted to Islam.  Approximately 
60 percent of them are of Moroccan origin, with the next 
largest population from Algeria.  In Catalunya, there is an 
important Pakistani community.  In the Community of Madrid, 
there are 55 mosques.  The Muslim community assumed 
tremendous importance following the terrorist attacks of 
March 11, 2004 on a Spanish commuter train which killed 191 
people.  50 people have been arrested in connection with the 
attacks, the majority of them Muslims of Moroccan origin. 
The Spanish Government has realized that they must reach out 
to their Muslim population, and have proposed a series of 
initiatives including subsidizing mosques, to wean them from 
foreign financing; registering Imams, and requiring them to 
preach their sermons in Spanish; and teaching Islam (under 
the rubric of comparative religion) in the public schools. 
 
3.  Embassy Madrid Programs:  In addition to the programs 
listed below, the Embassy recently created a Muslim Outreach 
Working Group, chaired by the DCM.  At its first meeting, 
the Group commissioned a study by PA's Information Resource 
Center on the Islamic Community in Spain.  This 103 page 
report is now completed and has been distributed to the 
Working Group members.  It provides background on the 
Islamic Community in Spain, and lists influential 
institutions and individuals with whom the Embassy should 
initiate or maintain contact.  The following is a status 
report on outreach programs to the Muslim Community:
