I was a teenager once, so I won’t point out how inane this looks.
I will point out that this show of delightful silliness demonstrates that the Arabs in Chile have been thoroughly Westernized.

Again, Arab culture thoroughly penetrates Latin America.
Again, the Arabes are heavily Christian. Very little Muslims among them.
Bolivia, according to Wikipedia, has only about 2,000 Muslims, out of a population of 10 million. This is equivalent to 1 in 50,000 people. Or actually 0.02% Muslim.
I cannot get a good estimate for the number of Arabs in Bolivia, though obviously, they have affected the culture.
The one exception may be Argentina, but even Argentina’s Arabs are about 90% Christian; and the Muslims in the Arab Community are usually non-practicing.
Muslims in Argentina are about 1% of the population; and that may be exaggerated.

Peruvian Mission to the Muslims.
A Peruvian Evangelical Mission is giving instruction on how to outreach to Muslims.
Very interesting.
This why – inspite of our media scaremongering – I do not believe that Islam will get a hold in Latin America.
It may make some converts, but over time the Evangelicals will make more Christians out of Muslims than the Muslims will make Muslims out of Christians.
What is worrisome, however, is the increasing anti-Israel sentiment arising in Latin America. The Latins may not become Muslim, but they may become very hostile to Israel.
The reason for this is simple. The more traditional denominations in Latin America, the Catholic Church – and to a smaller extent, the Orthodox Church – have theologies where the Jews are written off for their rejection of Christ.
It is easier for anti-Semitism to prosper with those theologies, unlike Evangelical theologies where the Jews are still central to God’s design.
These traditional churches were magnificent in converting earlier generations of Muslim immigrants; but while they were effective at eradicating Islam, they made no effort to eradicate anti-Semitism. Hence, Arab and Iranian propaganda may not install Islam in South America; but it can instill an anti-Israel viewpoint that is vicious.
