Amazing. Only now are people in the English speaking world starting to notice this. How sad?
Education
Arab-Chilean gave lecture in Tennessee
Al-Imad lectures history of Middle East conflict
By Jessica Mynatt
On Oct. 24, Professor Leila Al-Imad gave a summary of the long history of political conflicts in that area.
Her father was Lebanese and her mother was from Chile. She offered a unique perspective on the subject.
Professor Al-Imad explained how outside influences were causing changes in the Middle East.
“In the middle of the nineteenth century, nationalism hit the Middle East,” she said.
The idea of nationalism was coming from the west, and the idea of fundamentalism was coming from the east.
It became a cultural idea that problems were caused by people not living up to their religion, and this view encouraged the fundamentalist movement.

From Tennessee: This was a few days ago.
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.

African Immigration to Argentina
This is a 4 year old video. African immigration to Argentina has increased.
The Muslims among them are responsible for most of the increase of Islam in Argentina. The native-born Arab-Argentines, who are Muslim, are either converting into Christianity or are non-practicing. Remember that around 90% of Arab-Argentines are Christian.
These Africans often go to Brazil, then move down to Argentina.
This is a more recent video.
What is clear is that if Argentina can take these people in, then Argentina can take in enough Palestinians to make a dent in the Mideast crisis.
Unlike the African Blacks, the Palestinian Arabs would more easily assimilate into Argentina where Arabs are roughly 8-10% of the Argentine population; and where 90% of those Arabs are Christian.
Only a will to spend some time, money, and effort is all that is blocking a Mideast peace solution.
