The population of Hispanic Muslims has increased 30 percent to some 200,000 since 1999, estimates Ali Khan, national director of the American Muslim Council in Chicago. Many attribute the trend to a growing interest in Islam since the 2001 terrorist attacks and also to a collision between two burgeoning minority groups. They note that Muslims ruled Spain centuries ago, leaving an imprint on Spanish food, music, and language.
...
The trend has spawned Latino Islamic organizations such as the Latino American Dawah Organization, established in 1997 by Hispanic converts in New York City. Today the organization is nationwide.
The growth in the Hispanic Muslim population is especially prevalent in New York, Florida, California, and Texas, where Hispanic communities are largest. In Orlando, the area's largest mosque, which serves some 700 worshipers each week, is located in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. A few years ago it was rare to hear Spanish spoken at the mosque, says Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida.
Today there is a growing demand for books in Spanish, including the Koran, and requests for appearances on Spanish-language radio stations, Mr. Musri says. The mosque offers a Spanish-language education program in Islam for women on Saturdays. "I could easily see in the next few years a mosque that will have Spanish services and a Hispanic imam who will be leading the service," he says.

n South Central Los Angeles, a group of Muslim UCLA students a decade ago established a medical clinic in this underserved area. Today the nonreligious University Muslim Medical Association Community Clinic treats some 16,000 patients, mostly Hispanic, who see it as a safe place to seek care without fear for their illegal status, says Mansur Khan, vice chairman of the board and one of the founders.

Bring back the Spanish [Hispanic in this case] Inquisition - and the problem will be speedily solved.
They don't follow "real Islam" because as the muslims tell us again and again, you have to read the Koran in the native tongue to understand the real meaning of those passages we see as promoting violence, slavery, and intolerance.
Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over, 'conquered' if you will, by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
I am sure thousands of Latinos have taken this route. And I'm sure many of them, after spending five to ten years living this way don't abandon it after they leave prison.
This is a liberal agenda. Laura Ingraham cited (but did not comment on) the "issues that Hispanic Americans share with the muslim community". Those issues were affordable health care, immigration, and wages.
Huh. Sounds like the DNC talking points to ME.
I would've thought that they would've shared beliefs against abortion and homosexuality.
Especially not if they are told their muslim brothers may kill them if they leave the blood cult.
No Feathered Serpent? There are going to be some surprised folks when the Old Gods return, but it's a bet the Mexican Indians won't be islam and won't be among the surprised.
I see the CS Monitor is obligingly spreading the usual Muslim lies and propaganda.
The Saudis, btw, are busy funding and opening these "Dawa" (conversion) centers all over the place, particularly in prominent areas (like the old court building in downtown Houston), to give the impression that Americans of all races are voluntarily flocking to Islam.
It's not happening. But it's a good investment for the Muslims - they can always used the buildings as weapons dumps, chemical labs, etc. when they move on to the violent phase.
"Latino American Dawah Organization"
For a full understanding of what "Da'wah" is and leads to, the link below will detail the subtle pathway/steps of deliberate manipulation from a mere curiousity about islam to whatever level (including jihad//suicide bombing) is possible with the convert:
* Da'wah to Allah is a duty on every Muslim in every age, and in our time this Da'wah is particularly important in light of the vicious attacks the enemies of Allah are waging to remove the importance of Da'wah from the hearts of Muslims. snipped from:

Yeah, so. Wonder how many of those estimated 200,000 Hispanic Muslims are here illegally? Wonder how many of them might be back in Meheeco talking it up to their friends, who themselves might be coming north soon?
Now, about that whole border security thing...not a big deal, some people say? Think again.

They just want an excuse to tell their women to cover up more- with good reason.
And we trust the statistics put out by a Muslim organization because........??????????????????
Latin 'machismo' is a direct descendent of Moorish cultural contamination of Spain.
LOL! That's from The Simpsons episode "Deep Space Homer". Great episode!
I don't see this going over well with the Hispanic women - at least the ones I've known. Yikes!
