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.”

A worrisome trend?

I have been expecting something like this for 20 years. It makes sense. The weak invaders from the south allying with the forcefully effective invaders from the east.The more perceptive of the latinos see that the Moslems seem to have “history” on their side and America will let them Islamize the country.

Latinos are deeply superstitious with a keen interest in the occult. In Hispanic homes it is not unusual to find makeshift altars which contain images of their jungle idols and ancestors, interspersed with Christian symbols. You will also find a virtual bonfire of votive candles blazing. Sometimes the Hispanics will set out sacrificial plates of beans and rice on these altars to feed their ancestors and gods.

If you can’t beat them..

[Jim Noble]

I have thought for years that Islam is the perfect religion for Latin America.

You bet it’s worrisome.

[9YearLurker]

Just SEND THEM HOME!!!

[Maine Mariner]

Are we taking 50, 100, 500 or 5000 converts.

The media talk of a trend if you start with 5 and it doubles to 10.

Buy more ammo. If you don't need it your kids and grandkids will.

[Jyotishi]

The Islamization of the U.S. should be complete in, what, 50 years?

[lightman]

It isn’t any leap at all from Santa Muerto to the Religion of Pieces.

[the OlLine Rebel]

'"Oh, what are you an Arab now?” “Why did you join a black religion?"'

I LOVE IT! DEMographics squaring off again!

[lakecumberlandvet]

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

[the OlLine Rebel]

I’m highly irritated by illegal latinos, but you gotta love their honest frankness and the lack of white 2nd-guessing stupidity!
