Editing Kaohsiung (section)

===Islam===
Besides the majority population of Buddhists and Taoists, Kaohsiung also includes a rather tiny population of [[Muslims]]. During the [[Chinese Civil War]], some 20,000 Muslims, mostly soldiers and civil servants, fled [[mainland China]] with the [[Kuomintang]] government to Taiwan.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Charette |first=Rick |date=2020-04-13 |title=The Muslim Experience in Taipei |url=https://international.thenewslens.com/article/133739 |access-date=2021-05-15 |website=The News Lens International Edition |language=en |archive-date=27 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227101020/https://international.thenewslens.com/article/133739 |url-status=live }}</ref> During the 1980s, another few thousand Muslims from [[Myanmar]] and [[Thailand]], who are mostly descendants of [[Nationalist Chinese|Nationalist]] soldiers who fled [[Yunnan]] as a result of the communist takeover, migrated to Taiwan in search of a better life, resulting in an increase of Muslim population within the country.<ref name=":1" /> More recently, with the rise of Indonesian workers working in Taiwan, an estimated number of 88,000 Indonesian Muslims currently live in the country, in addition to the existing 53,000 Taiwanese Muslims. Combining all demographics, Taiwan hosts around 140,000 Muslims, with around 25,000 living in Kaohsiung. [[Kaohsiung Mosque]] is the largest mosque in Kaohsiung and the main gathering site of Muslims within the city.
