Islam takes root among Mexico's poor

AN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS, Mexico - Five hundred years after Spanish priests told Mexico's Indians to accept Roman Catholicism or face eternal hell, a new group of missionaries are again preaching about the path to salvation.

Only this time, the message is different.

[PoisedWoman]

Mayan Muslims, huh? The head swims.

[tessalu]

God help Mexico!

[BlackbirdSST]

Just add's to the urgency to shut down our border's! The islam is peace president doesn't get it. Blackbird.

''I felt this burning in my heart and I wanted to know more,'' Gomez said

Translation: I'm ignorant, gullible and ripe for brainwahing. Let the suicide bombings begin!

[Ajnin]

that would be brainwashing:)

[giotto]

''The Mayans have a level of purity in their lives that let them see some things with more clarity

In other words, they live in abject poverty and total ignorance of the world beyond their village.

[Gorzaloon]

In other words, they live in abject poverty and total ignorance of the world beyond their village.

..Exactly what is needed for islam to metastatize.

[Dutch Boy]

So they want to move from 19th century to the 15th century? The civilized world ought to show video of the real life inside a muslim country.

"The group was founded by Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi, a Scotsman who is an outspoken critic of global capitalism and democracy."

Ack! and Double Ack! Sounds very spritual, don't he?

CLOSE THE BORDERS NOW!

If we go by the patterns it has drawn on the map of the world, Islam's "enabling conditions" appear to be:

1. A low general intelligence (e.g., the mean IQ of the Muslim Middle East is around 85, and the mean IQ of sub-Saharan Africa is around 70),
2. Economic and cultural backwardness,
3. A sense of having been unfairly denied what one is due,
4. A desire, actualized or not, to strike out.

It appears that all these conditions are met in the Islam-susceptible regions in Mexico.

I felt this burning in my heart and I wanted to know more...

A good antiacid would be far more beneficial.

Here's some good news.

[varon]

God help Mexico!

God help USA as the hordes of converts start swarming across our borders.

''I felt this burning in my heart and I wanted to know more,'' Gomez said

Probably that last taco with the triple hot sauce.

[Travis McGee]

What a decade we are in for. We had better all teach our kids to shoot.

[FITZ]

I really have a hard time believing that Islam will ever make many inroads into Mexico. For one Mexicans like to have fun ---they party, they drink, they dance, they flirt, they aren't going to rampage over attractive women.

[FreedomPoster]

Mine can.

'...Aureliano Perez and Esteban Lopez, followers of the strict Murabitun school of Islam who arrived in San Cristobal in 1995.'

I would like to know more about these two and who backs them. I don't think trying to make inroads into Mexico by exploiting the ultra poor in specific regions is a coincidence.
[Before we dismiss this as an unlikely threat, I would caution everyone to look at Indonesia and certain nation states of Africa where ignorance and poverty has seemed to be the perfect breeding ground for the rapid rise of radical Islam.
They do not need to completely take over Mexico to build a dangerous army of zealots in our own backyard - just outside of our reach.]
