Will the 6-year conflict over the Daegu Islamic Center be resolved? On the 8th, the Buk-gu district of Daegu announced that it has proposed moving the Islamic Center to an alternative site. The controversy over the Islamic Center began in 2017 when the center's plan to build a large-scale mosque in the Namsan-dong neighborhood was met with fierce resistance from local residents. The residents claimed that the large-scale mosque would cause traffic and parking problems and that it would be a "spot for Islamic extremists." The conflict escalated as some far-right groups even used a loudspeaker to blast K-pop music in front of the center in an attempt to drive them out. Since then, the center has been using the current site while continuing to seek an alternative. On the 7th, the center's side announced that it would voluntarily suspend construction on the mosque. On the 8th, the district announced that it had proposed moving the center to another site near the current location. The new site is known to be about 1.5 times larger than the current site and is located about 150 meters away from the current location. The district explained that it had discussed the alternative site with the center's side and local residents. The district said, "We will actively support the relocation if the center's side agrees to move." The center's side and local residents will have to make a decision soon.
