JAKARTA: The electronic center and gallery for Muslims were
launched on Sunday in the basement of the Grand Istiqlal Mosque

The World Muslim E-Center is built to provide electronic data
for Muslim communities and universities on the latest results on
Islamic studies and information, while the World Muslim Community
Gallery provides various rooms and stages for exhibitions and
activities of Indonesian and world Muslims.

Both the center and the gallery would be managed by Yayasan
Dunia Merdeka chaired by businessman Faizal Motik, while minister
