| Summary: | The author believes that few regimes in history, even those led by atheists, have successfully managed to abolish religion. In Pol Pot's Democratic Kampuchea (DK) from 1975 to 1979, all religious practice was prohibited and very effectively suppressed, sometimes with great violence. This contribution explores the impact of four years of massacre and repression on a Muslim minority group that arguably suffered more repression than the Khmer Buddhist majority in the DK period.
