Since the September the 11th Attacks, there has been a minor, initial backlash against the Muslim community, as part of wider trend of suspicion towards Muslims in non-Muslim countries, although it is believed that the Muslim community as a whole, has remained well-integrated in broader Chilean society.

- Centro de Cultura y Beneficencia Islámico
- Centro Chileno Islámico de Cultura de Puerto Montt
