A Turkish-Islamic Center in Maryland, which features a double-minaret mosque, will be opened in the US during Turkish President Erdogan's official visit

The $100 million mega-mosque in Maryland, US will soon be open in the Washington, DC area, as Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan is expected to open the mosque during his official visit to the US between March 29 and April 2.

America's largest mosque complex, officially known as the Turkish-American Culture and Civilization Center, was built with Turkish funding under the supervision of the Turkish religious foundation (Diyanet).

Almost all $100 million for the mosque was funded by the Religious Affairs and the Religious Foundation of Turkey.

The mosque is part of the Turkish-Islamic Center also known as the "American Religious Center," built on a large area in Lanham, Maryland that will have the capacity to host 3,000 Muslim worshippers indoors and outdoors.

Largest American Mosque in the world? You mean that some day there could be a larger American mosque in, say, China?

There's a huge mosque in Ohio south of Toledo that has been open for decades. Is this not also a double minaret mosque?
