in 2001 approximately 70 percent of the population were Roman Catholic, approximately 29 percent were Protestant, and the remaining 1 percent practiced other religions or were atheists. There are small but influential Muslim and Jewish communities. The capital city of Caracas has a large mosque, and the country's Jewish community is very active.

Above combined with Venezuela’s membership in OPEC would indicate strong muslim influence in the government. Now I am not much for conspiracy theory, however, I would bet that alqueda(sp) is involved and we will feel the inpact here in the US of A.

Thanks.

Chavez is an authentic Axis-of-Evil wannabe. He's got Carlos the Jackal's brother on his payroll, somewhere in his cabinet, and has written letters to the jailed terrorist encouraging him. He's hanging out with those who wish us ill, like Iran. Saudi Arabia laughs at him for his stupidity on oil, and that's kept him away from them. But not their enemies. The main enemy of the Saudi regime of course is alqaida.
