In Chicago and Elsewhere, Latinos Converting to Islam

There are no precise figures on how many Latino Muslims live in the Chicago area, where the population is about 30 percent Latino. But, according to various estimates, the 130 mosques in the city and suburbs are the spiritual home to a small but growing group of converts — Latino Muslims.

Some converts from devout Catholic families say they sometimes are faced with skepticism and ignorance from their own relatives: “Oh, what are you an Arab now?” “Why did you join a black religion?” “Did you join ISIS?” “Take that thing off your head.”

Pray for the Latinos not to take this path.

Get out there and evangelize.

Every person who “converts” to Islam is brain dead. They have been brainwashed and have never read the Koran and understood what it means. The “holy crap” book is unintelligible, is not a real book in any sense of the word. Who wrote it? It was not the false prophet, murderer, rapist, thief, and pedophile Mahomet, he was illiterate. So who wrote it and why did it take the form it is in? Islam has nothing to offer, even the false prophet himself reportedly said; “even I do not know what Allah has in store for me.”

This a joke, a sad joke on those fools embracing a false religion and on humanity. Unfortunately, evil reigns in the present life in Islam.

Get ‘em outta here, now!

[Carry me back]

Yep more lies from fake news.

[equaviator]

Obama’s fault.

[CodeToad]

Low IQ crowd that treats religion as a superstition.

[CaptainK]

Prison gangs probably.

You called it. Two people were profiled in this fact light article. The Mexican woman who converted has a Pakistani father and the Mexican man converted in prison.

I don't believe that this is happening in large numbers. Most Latino people I know have the cross tattooed on them or The Virgin Mary. Many blacks moved to islam, especially in the prisons. Latinos stayed away from islam, even in the prisons. I'll believe this story when they show me evidence.

Has been going on in the prison system for scores of years

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I believe it. I can’t believe how many people are surprised.

Islam is becoming very popular in Mexico.

DEMOCRAT ISLAM

treats women as property.
They romanticize about owning blacks.
Slap their women down in public if you wish.

[Mears]

They want to be Muslims in prison because they get better food.:-)

[Dalberg-Acton]

Prison is where a lot of them are converted. It will mean trouble.

Emergency toilet paper.

[Engedi]

Yes, and they celebrate the Day of the Dead.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Most of these “Muslim Latinos” are non-white Hispanics. In other words they are mixed race blacks. The type you see mostly from The Dominican Republic. They reject their white half from their black half. Same as Barry Soetoro.

[Boomer]

It’s so much easier to convert to islam those that already hate America.

Bingo. Like minds converging into one hate-America cult. I still refuse to call Islam a religion.

[Hodar]

When you consider the Mexican culture places a high value on all things macho; Islam delivers male dominance over female with a flair that Catholicism cannot begin to compete with.

Islam meets the male superiority fantasy of machoism better than anything else, add to this the general ignorance, gullibility and laziness of the culture and it’s quite a natural fit.
