Fiji Muslim League

The Fiji Muslim League is a Sunni Muslim religious and social organisation in Fiji, founded in 1926.[1][2] Following its foundation the organisation set up branches across the country to counter conversion efforts by the Arya Samaj.[3] Most of the Muslim schools in Fiji are operated by the Fiji Muslim League.[4]
