You're living in Mexico City now? I'd love to spend a day picking your brain. I'm fascinated about the wealthy in Mexico being Arab stock. I'd read about some of that in the long ago past, but didn't realize they were still as influential. I understand that many Mexicans are converting to Islam. What do you think?

WHAT???? The "Libanes" are Catholics or Orthodox. The only public Mosque in Mexico City is tiny, serving Sunni, Shi'ia and other sects. We forget that every country in the Americas, not just the United States, has immigrants, and I'm sure there are more Muslims than a few years ago, but the fastest growing religion is Buddism. That's a statistical quirk: there has been a sizable Korean immigration, and Buddism has gone from 0.001% to 0.005 percent, which is a HUGE statistical change.
