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.

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.

I have thought for years that Islam is the perfect religion for Latin America.
You bet it’s worrisome.

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.

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

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

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

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

It’s The Chicago Sun Times - the most extreme left wing newspaper in the US. Now under control of the labor unions and Edwin Eisendrath former Chicago Alderman and HUD official. The paper is $millions in debt and on life support with union money.
