Vientiane's Azhar Mosque, known locally as 'Masjid Cambodia', is located in an obscure corner of Vientiane's Chantaburi district. The Cham community is small, numbering only a few hundred, and is relatively poor. These are Cambodian Chams, many of whom were originally refugees from the barbaric Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot, who instituted a campaign of genocide against Cambodia's Cham Muslim minority. The Chams do have, however, a strong sense of identity, which is why they have built their own mosque. As followers of the Shafi'i madhab their religious practices differ slightly, too, from the South Asian Hanafis of the Jama' Masjid in Vientiane city.
