A World You Never Knew Existed

If you are like me, and most Americans – and dare I say, most Westerners as well – you never knew about the major Arab subculture in South America.


And that’s just Chile. Argentina and Brazil have more!

Europe has about 6+ million Arabs [many Euro-Muslims are not Arab] in a continent of 746 Million people, and yet we hear nothing but panic.

Egads! Eurabia! The Arabs are coming! The Arabs are coming!

What if I were to tell you that South America alone has 25+ Million Arabs, most of whom are assimilated, Christians, and getting along quite well in their respective countries.

WHAT?!

Yes! It is true. What did South America do that was so right; and what can we learn from them.

Each country in South America has a different profile. All they share is a common Latin language; and even that shows heavy dialectal differences.

Likewise, the Arabs among the Latins show some considerable differences.
