A group of Muslim students living in Daegu, South Korea have been meeting to pray at a home near their university since 2014. In late 2020, they got permission to renovate the house and turn it into a mosque to better accommodate Muslims in the area. But their plans have been hampered by resistance from locals which has, at times, turned into open Islamophobia.
In 2021, protesters in front of the prayer site called students "terrorists" and signs calling Islam "an evil religion" were posted outside.
