Chinese Muslim Association

The Chinese Muslim Association (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: 中國回教協會; pinyin: Zhōngguó Huíjiào Xiéhuì) is an organization of Chinese Muslims in the Republic of China (Taiwan). It runs the Taipei Grand Mosque.[1][2]

Bai Chongxi was the first chairman of the Chinese Muslim Association.[3][4]

The organization is the largest Islamic organization in Taiwan. Its activities spread throughout the island and it has a good reputation among the local Muslims. The mosques have set up their own board of directors which are responsible for the affairs of the mosques. The Foundation of Islamic Culture and Education is responsible for dispatching scholarship and holding lectures on Islam. In additional, they also have a volunteer organization to make up a deficiency of other Islamic organizations in Taiwan. The association regularly send people to visit foreign Muslim detainees (detained for violating foreign worker contract) in several alien temporary detention centers.

A rival group, the Chinese Muslim Youth League competes with it on Taiwan.[5]
