Don't you have to learn Arabic to convert to Islam? Most of the Mexicans I run into don't seem inclined to learn any language other than Spanish.

In traditional Islam, Yes. You have to learn Arabic.

BUT, in this non traditional infiltration...I'm not sure.

I've seen many mosques websites that have a translate view icon. This allows for spanish viewers.

So, I don't know.

Most of the Mexicans I run into (in Mexico) don't seem inclined to learn spanish :) But that's another matter.

I'll be specially careful - arabic language or not. Think "Liberation theology" with islam instead of marxism and we're potentially on a mess again. The "zapatista" debacle hasn't been cleaned up yet...
