Nayibe....

Note the Arabic handle. Factoid: Colombia has many areas that were settled by Lebanese and Syrians.
¿Y porqué me haga sospechoso esto?

"Factoid: Colombia has many areas that were settled by Lebanese and Syrians."

Yes; and some of the Colombian women of Lebanese/Syrian descent -- these are overwhelmingly Maronite Christians who observe their faith in the Roman Catholic Church -- are among the most stunning women anywhere.

The "community" within Colombia the Lebanese and Syrian Christians constitute also includes a rather large contingent from Greece as well.

The Arab settlers in Colombia were mainly Maronite Catholics, who then joined the Latin Rite upon their arrival.

Muslim settlers were very few, and either converted to Catholicism, or settled mainly in Maicao, in the Guajira Department, one of three Colombian cities (the others being Bogota and my own Barranquilla) with a functioning mosque.

You don't have to be very suspicious: Lebanese and Syrians in Barranquilla, together with Barranquilleros of such ancestry marched in protest against the Israeli military action against Hizballah, and the march route included parading in front of Barranquilla's two functioning synagogues. Muslims and Christians together (how Kumbaya).
