Number of Hispanic Muslim converts growing

Huevos rancheros for breakfast; fasulye for dinner.
It was not an unusual menu that graced the table one
recent Thursday at Patricia El-Kassir's west Houston
home.
For El-Kassir, a Mexican-American convert to Islam,
starting the day with the Mexican egg breakfast and
ending it with a Lebanese meat-and-bean dinner meant
nothing more than the merging of cultures easily found
in Islam.
"One of the things that brought me to Islam, that I
think is so beautiful, is that Muslims come from all
nations," said El-Kassir, whose husband is a native of
Lebanon.
"You can be Mexican and be a Muslim and be happy," she
added. "You don't have to be torn between two things."
Though Muslims may live in all nations, when El-Kassir
first accepted Islam 16 years ago as a 15-year-old
student at Bellaire High School, she was one of few
Hispanic Muslims at Houston-area mosques, she said.
She didn't meet another Hispanic Muslim until she was
an adult living in Lebanon.
Now when El-Kassir looks around at local gatherings of
Muslims, she sees others with roots in Latin America.
She even has friends with whom she can discuss the ins
and outs of halal meat in tamales.
"In the last couple of years, I know more and more
Muslims who are Hispanic," she said.
Some Hispanic Muslims in Houston say the general
public often assumes they are of Middle Eastern or
Pakistani origin because of their religion. But where
they once were an unrecognized "other" in demographic
studies of American Muslim communities, the number of
Hispanic converts to Islam is growing -- if
incrementally, some say.
"This phenomenon is quite old," said Sheikh Zoubir
Bouchikhi, Imam of the Islamic Society of Greater
Houston's Southeast mosque. Bouchikhi also teaches at
Masjid El Farouq, a west Houston mosque where
El-Kassir attends prayers and Quran classes.
"It's not only in Houston but also all over the United
States," he said. "In the last five years we have an
increase in the number of people embracing Islam:
Latinos."
A study of mosques in the United States, published in
2001, indicated that about 6 percent of American
converts to Islam are Hispanic, said Ihsan Bagby, an
author of the report and associate professor of
Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky. About
27 percent of American converts are white, 64 percent
are African-American and 3 percent are a mixture of
other backgrounds, according to "The Mosque in
America: A National Portrait."
Statistics are hard to come by, Bagby said, but
Hispanics are becoming a significant minority of
American converts to Islam. --snip
My standard answer for all things islam......
The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don't portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur'an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity.
No ....not Saddam......Muhammad !
bump!
