Islamic Chair in Catholic University?!
A PERMANENT CHAIR OF ISLAM in a Catholic University in a very small secular country with almost NO Muslims?!
There are only around 400 Muslims in the whole country1.
Where is the money for this department coming from?
Uruguay is very unusual in South America in that it fought religious vs. secular wars over a century ago. The seculars won; and forced a complete separation of Church and State. In fact, Uruguay may be the most secular country in the Western Hemisphere.
Uruguay banned crucifixes in hospitals by 1906, and eliminated references to God and the Gospel in public oaths. Divorce laws were also established during this time.
Its premier University is the Catholic University, but the people are generally secular. Catholic in name only.
There are 20-25,000 Jews in Uruguay compared 400 Muslims. A ratio of 50 or more to 1.
It is true that the Catholic University has a permanent Chair of Judaism, as well; but with 20-25,000 Jews in Uruguay, they could support such a chair.
Who is supporting an Islamic Chair? WHO?!
If anyone doubts outside money is not going in to South America, this is the proof.
Why on earth would Uruguay, a small country of only 3.5 Million people, with only 400 Muslims, have a PERMANENT CHAIR OF ISLAM at a Catholic University?!
1There are 70,000 Lebanese Christians, though; but they are Catholic or Maronite Catholic, NOT Muslim. This video (Click Here) at (1:19) asserts the number is as high as 90,000 Maronite Christians; but the point is: They are Christian of one stripe or another, NOT Muslim.

Alright, that was from October of 2012; but I just found it, now.
NOTICE: on the lower right, it was sponsored by the Minstry of Foreign Affairs (Ministerio de Relaciónes Exteriores)
What is most interesting is the font used. It is a faux-Hindu font, not a faux-Arab font. Apparently, no one noticed that.
The PA Calls the Israelis Terrorist – FROM CHILE?!
There is something to this story that most people will not notice.
Palestinian Foreign Ministry: Israeli ministers are the terrorists, not the prisoners
By Ha’aretz Barak Ravid – Aug. 11, 2013In a letter distributed by Palestinian ambassadors around the world, a copy of which was obtained by Haaretz, prisoners are described as ‘freedom fighters’; in late-night meeting, Israel may be seeking to minimize media scrutiny of decision to release prisoners.
…
One of the letters relayed by Palestinian ambassadors around the world was obtained by Haaretz. The letter, which was distributed by the Palestinian Embassy in Santiago, Chile, a day after the cabinet’s decision on the prisoner release, claimed that Israel is the one terrorizing the Palestinians, and not vice-versa. “A terrorist is someone who forcefully occupies the other’s land, expels him and comes to live in his place,” the letter read, “…not the Palestinian political prisoner, the freedom fighter.”

Notice, where they got the letter from …. CHILE?!
Chile’s Palestinians are very radicalized!
From November 2012, during the Israeli attack on Gaza.
Chile has most of the world’s Palestinian Christians; and has the most Palestinians outside the Mideast.
So it is no accident that pro-Palestinian activism is so prominent in Chile.
Yes, the letter was sent all over the world, but it figured prominently in Chile.
Israel is going to have to keep a sharp eye on Chile’s internal politics which are greatly influenced by its Palestinians.
