Don’t let anybody fool you.
Yes, there are the occasional Arabs in South America who smuggle drugs for Hezbollah, but they are not respresentative.
Over 90% of all South American Arabs are Christian; many are becoming Evangelical, some even pro-Israeli Evangelicals.
This is what the media is not telling you; what the world is ignoring.

While the Arabs are prosperous and plenty in Latin America, not all are hostile to Israel, nor do they control the debate.
There is a large and growing evangelical community in Latin America which is very pro-Israel.
FREE HUGS! – Assemblies of God – Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil.
Do not get the impression that the Triple Point is nothing but smuggling. It is a vibrant commerical center.
Iguazu / Iguassu Falls – Triple Frontier.
The border between Argentina and Brazil.
It is next to the Iguaçu/Iquazu Waterfalls; the border between Argentina and Brazil, and one of the most beautiful cataracts on the planet. It is a major tourist attraction.
Well, these happy Pentecostal Christians decided to offer free hugs to everyone; obviously with the intent of winning everyone to Christ.
Now, the Triple Frontier cities: Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil), Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) and Puerto Iguazu (Argentina) have some Muslims. The Brazilian town, Foz do Iguaçu, has a famous Muslim community.
These Muslims won’t know what hit them when these Huggers for Christ come around. One does not do this in the Mideast. This is why I am convinced that, unless fortified by outside oil money, the Muslims in South America would be Christianized in one generation.
In the Mideast, Islam is enforced by a death penalty. Converts and Missionaries can be killed. In South America, Islam cannot compete freely with Christianity. Oh, yes! They will produce a few converts to Islam and Al-Jazeera will show up. What Al-Jazeera will not show you are the flood of converts to Christ.
This is an Evangelical Arab Church in Brazil.
They obviously have brought in converts from outside the Arab community, as well.
This is what Al-Jazeerea will NOT show you.
If Islam is sustained in South America, it is by outside money.
I think it is clear that outside money is rolling in or Islam would be almost extinct in South America by now.

This is troubling!
But if you know some Spanish and go to the YouTube video page this video is taken from you will read there is a discussion of whether or not Arabic is required to become a Muslim.
While it is not required, it is so heavily emphasized that Islam, thankfully, has the drawback of being difficult to convert to.
With a major Evangelical Revival occuring in South America, the reverse is true. Evangelical missionaries try to learn the language of the natives. The natives are not required to learn the Hebrew or Greek of the Old and New Testaments, respectively.
The upshot is that converting to Evangelical Christianity is very easy.
