Yes, there is a small but prevalent minority of Muslims in Jamaica.

Cleo;

Ok, so I think the question was are there Mosques in Jamaica?

The answer is yes, there is Central Masjid which is located in Kingston, there is Masjid Al Haq in Mandeville and a new masjid went up in St. Catherine last year, though I'm not sure of the name. These are the three that I'm aware of. There is also the Islamic Society of Jamaica. The Muslim Community in Jamaica is estimated at about 5K, give or take and are generally the descendants of West African Muslims slaves and the later South Asian (usually Indian) indentured servants that came to the island, though we do have later Muslim immigrants of Syrian, Lebanese and other ethnicities.
