I stand corrected. Suriname is in Latin America. The link I gave above incorrectly listed Suriname as being in the "Asia & Pacific" region.

Anyway, the link I gave shows that Suriname is 25% Muslim.

I'm not sure how correct the author of the article is about Islam running rampant in many South American countries, but shortly after 9/11, I remember there being several articles discussing terrorist money laundering operations around the Paraguay/Brazil/Argentina border.

While Suriname may be listed as 25% Muslim, I believe it has a large number of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent who likely make up a sizeable percentage of that Muslim population. I also believe they have been in Suriname for awhile, so the Muslim population in Suriname is not a recent phenomenon.
