Islamic Center of Southern California
434 South Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
Since 1953, the ICSC has been a forward-thinking, active mosque that serves the greater Los Angeles area. The membership of this community helped give birth to the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Minaret magazine, the Islamic Information Service (home of the 'Islam' syndicated TV program), Muslim Women's League and the award-winning New Horizon School system. This is a multicultural community that tends to be more liberal/progressive on theological and political issues. Very active and independent youth group, as well as services for the local community.

I visited this place on a Saturday at 2PM and it was closed with a sign saying that is is open from 9AM to 5PM on all days except Saturday. Also the sign said that on non-operational days (I assume Saturday included) it is open 15 minutes before prayer time and closes 15 minutes after.

I went to this masjid while I attened college> I felt it was very nice, people spoke to you if you gave salaams and it have a diverse atmosphere. The Imam at the time (1996) was very friendly. Its very clean and plenty of space for sisters.

I grew up attending this mosque, and can personally attest to their activism, professionalism, and progressive stands on issues. I can't think of another mosque that has had such a large impact on the greater American Muslim community than this one. This mosque had a majority of women on its board nearly two decades ago, and has had an independent youth group that manages to instill a well-balanced American Muslim identity. I credit this mosque for making me into the type of Muslim that I am today.
