16 is a bit low to vote; but what is more important is: Why does American media ignore this, while Arab-owned Al Jazeera pays attention.
We are ignoring the Latins at our own risk.

Catholic Church picks an Argentine Pope
A report about the Argentine Pope from Al Jazeera
An Argentine Pope!
Apparently the Catholic Church recognizes the importance of South America.
As I have shown, so does the Arab world. Al Jazeera, in the above video, had a large report on this.
It is about time that the Western World pay attention as well.
Al Jazeera Reports on Argentine Protests

If you are wondering why the Arab goverments are making inroads to South America, it is because they show some interest in these important stories while our own American networks ignore them.
Argentina is going through another economic crisis. Dollars are not allowed to go out of the country.
This is a major story, and Al Jazeera gives it a 25 minute discussion.
Our American networks should be covering this, but they are not.
THIS IS WHY THE ARABS ARE WINNING THE PROPAGANDA WAR!
Our Networks have to get their act together.
Intermarriage
This documentary says it all.
It is about an Argentine woman who discovers that though she is of Italian, Spanish and Irish descent, one of her ancestors, her great-grandfather was a Lebanese Muslim. She set out to discover her distant relatives.

The Muslims were so possessive of their women that it was unthinkable for them to allow women to migrate to Argentina alone. Hence, most of the Muslim men had no women to marry, unless they brought one over with them, or wrote for one expressly for marriage.
The intermarriage rate was high with the result that the children were usually raised Catholic.
The effect of this is stunning.

Arab immigration to Argentina was quite considerable in the late 19th century, after World War I and up to the mid-20th century , having become its third most important immigration wave. Of these immigrants, 40% are estimated to have been Muslims or children or grandchildren of Muslims.
Well, Argentina’s Arabs are about 10% Muslim today, but most are not practicing at all. This means a steady translation over to Christianity, whether by converstion, intermarriage, or just simple neglect.
I am not going to pretend that this is a tragedy. I am Christian, and find this trend very heartening, especially since the Christianization seems to be a product of assimilation, not coercion.
What I do find very heartening is how well the Arabs succeed once they have assimilated. This offers hope not only for the Arabs in Latin America, but for the world was well.
If the Arabs could see that the deck is NOT stacked against them, that Western Civilization has embraced them – at least in Latin America – it would offer them hope. Where hope abounds, extremism will fade away.
The Muslim world may have to ask some painful questions.
Is their monolithic view of Islam helpful or hurtful?
Should they consider Christianity?
If Latin America is any indication of the superiority of Christianity, Islam is hurting the Arab world. The Muslims should consider Christianity.
In Latin America, the Arab is elite. Maybe it is time for the Muslim world to reconsider its insistance on Islam.
