The Church of Scientology is always bragging about how fast it's growing, but it's never very big. I predict the same thing will be the case for Islam in the Latin world. They'll always be bragging about how fast they're growing, but they'll never get very big.
Muslims in the US vastly exaggerate their numbers, as well. Spokesman have claimed as many as 15 million Muslims in the US. A couple of surveys in 2001 found about 1.8 to 2.8 million at the time. Let's say 3 million now. Muslims also brag about how many converts they make. I would ask how many converts stick with Islam and how many Muslims convert to other religions.
Islam has found some converts in the US amongst Hispanics and whites, but I suspect that they convert for the same reasons that some blacks do -- jailbirds, people who are estranged from society, marriage and women with a mistaken belief that Islam "respects" women.

Yes, I agree. One big marketing tactic is make the mass think 'everyone is doing it'. I was an international marketer for YEARS (before children). I know all these moves.
BUT, the Mexican connection is DOWNPLAYED. It is downplayed to the US. Not the information that is in place.
The Mexicans have been being converted for years.
do a simple google search to see.
It will grow among Communist socials, anti-Catholic societies, and criminals. This "religion" frees the individual from human God-given inhibitions to hate and murder. If South and Latin Americans thugs don't press their heads into the dirt in the direction of Mecca, they'll at least give parity to Islam and speak respectfully of it as they lay waste to all human life. Like the historical past, the Catholic Church and not America will be the biggest target.
