Arabs in Salta, Argentina Since 1880.


Posted on YouTube in 2019

Salta is in Argentina’s interior, yet the Arabs have been in the area for roughly 143 years.

Again, remember that almost all Arabs in Argentina are now Christian of one flavor or another. A lot of them were Christians fleeing Muslim persecutions.

The Muslim community in Argentina likes to brag of its size, but most Muslims in Argentina are non-practicing, and many either convert or intermarry into Christianity.

In fact, Islam came close to dying out at one point in Argentina. Still, it is there.
