A poor, agrarian, landlocked country in South America with a nearly 100 percent Christian population is hardly the place one would expect to become a hotbed of Islamic extremism in the Western Hemisphere.

But a recent report by the Open Source Center (OSC) of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says it's so.

There are only 1,000 Muslims in Bolivia, a country of 9.7 million people, but the connection between some of the community’s religious leaders and Iran — as well as with fundamentalist factions in the Palestinian territories — has U.S. officials and terror experts keeping a watchful eye on them.

The report revealed a number of Muslim organizations in Bolivia whose leaders have publicly denounced U.S. foreign policy and have direct associations with extremists in the Middle East.

Obviously, 1000 Mohamheads is 1000 too many.

Now I know we are doomed.

Maybe they'll be flown to some lush island paradise.

Sadly, I cannot put a /sarc tag behind that.

The Muslim presence in several places in South America is growing. One island, owned by Colombia (San Andrés), is practically fully controlled by Arabs now. They bought up many of the businesses there.

Hopefully, all of this is being carefully watched. Oh....I forgot....our new administration probably doesn’t wish to *meddle* in such things.

That's exactly the place they would start. They hate Christians and poor Christians, who can't defend themselves, make perfect sense for a place for them to establish a foothold.

The Santa Cruz area is very pro-US. It is only the Morales government that is allowing the ragheads to operate. When Morales is removed or the southern and eastern States separate from the Altiplano the Muzzies will be very unwelcome, to say the least!

It is an “open secrete” that the governments of Peru, Chilean and Argentina are watching these groups very carefully and have people inside the Muzzie operations.
