The video above is not mine. I wish it were.
It is an absolutely amazing video. Lots of great facts and figures.

Brazil has a massive Arab community, probably as much as 15 million. Luckily for Brazil, their Arabs are heavily Maronite Christian, who tend to be moderate – unlike Chile, whose Arabs are anti-Zionist Palestinians.
However, Brazil also has an incredibly large Evangelical Christian community, which is decidedly pro-Israel. At this time, the Evangelicals have the ascendancy.
The video above is a religious internet show, aimed at the Evangelicals of Brazil, about Bible prophecy happening in Israel.
The title is Unveiling the Prophecies: The Gospel to the Nations – 2.
This distinguishes Brazil from most of Latin America, indeed, most of the world.

The Awakening of Radical Islamism in ChileChile can easily become the source from which radical Islam spreads throughout Latin America in full view and patience. Attempts have already been made in other places such as Peru, or Bolivarian Venezuela itself, but the results have not been helpful for the vile objectives of radicalism. The steady decline of the Catholic Church, in a deeply believing country like Chile, leaves a vacuum that radical Islamist groups could potentially use.
At this rate, with these investment amounts, it would not be surprising that in less than 5 years, Chile becomes the central Shiite stronghold in Latin America.
The [linked] opinion piece was from a few months ago; but apparently the Jewish authors are worried about the strong influence of radical Islam in Chile.
There is a concern that Chile may become a Shia stronghold in Latin America.
The problem here is that the continuing decline of the Catholic Church in Chile, along with the social unrest, may provide an inroad for Islam. [Read the article!]
The authors fear that because Chile has let in some radical Muslims over the last decade, they feel the infrastructure is already in place for Islamicization.
The problem with this exaggerated fear is that Chile is still less than 0.04% Islamic. There are only 5,000 Muslims out of 18 Million people, less than 1 in 3,000. There are only three or four mosques in the whole country.
Chile is, happily, one of the LEAST Islamic countries on the planet.
My own view is that Chile merits watching, but not so much on the issue of religion. Chilean society is far too secular for Islam to gain a major foothold. Too many forces work against Islam in Chile.
As noted elsewhere on this website, Islam does not stand much of a chance in a culture which ennobles alcohol, rowdy sports, and dancing with women. Islam is no match for the tango or the samba.
Those individuals who are given to moral conservatism – and fed up with Roman Catholicism – are more likely to swing to Pro-Zionist Evangelical Christianity, which already has made major inroads in Brazil and Chile.
What the influence of Iran may achieve is an increase in anti-Zionism or anti-Semitism among some sectors of society; but right now, the Evangelicals are keeping that in check.
The strong influence of Chilestinians [Palestinian-Chileans] has been noticed, but Chilestinians are 99% Christian. They are often quite anti-Israel, but they are NOT Islamic. They are a concern, and a growing one, but not a danger to Christianity.
Iran may get some support from Chilestinians and the Arab-Chilean community, but that may be limited to drug smuggling, money laundering, or anti-Israel activity. I seriously doubt large scale conversions to Islam will occur.
Islam likes to boast of its successes in South America, but in reality, those successes are hopelessly exaggerated, and often end in failure. There will be individuals who may convert, but I do not see societal changes.
If anything, as the Catholic Church declines, it is more likely that Evangelical Protestantism will increase. Brazil is a classic example. Chile is next in line to swing to Evangelicalism.
The authors of the linked opinion piece – who are Jewish – may not appreciate the power of Evangelical Christianity.
Israel should be worried about pro-Iranian activity in Chile insofar as it concerns Israel and Chile’s Jews, but Chile is probably not in any danger.

An update on an Arab Evangelical Church in Venezuela – or at least with a Arab-Latin clergy.

Now, again, most likely a good portion of these people come from a Christian background, Maronite Catholic or Syrian Orthodox, before becoming Evangelical. However, many of the Maronites or Syrian Orthodox have been in Latin America for generations, and so have forgotten Arabic.
Yet, this church has given messages in Arabic as well as Spanish, which may indicate that they reach out to recent Muslim arrivals as well.

Again, as noted, any Muslims coming to South America would face this. In the Muslim world, the Ummah, Christianity is suppressed, and the Muslims do not have well-developed social skills to resist evangelism. They just threaten or kill the preachers. In South America, this would not be an option, so there would be a continual bleed off of Muslims from any Muslim community to the Christian church – most likely to the Evangelicals, since they take evangelism more seriously than Catholics.
This is why I suggest, from time to time, that the Palestinians in the West Bank be paid to move to South America. They would convert in a generation or two.
Further note: This church obviously has female pastors, which indicates that they are in the Pentecostal framework. Strict Baptists do not have female clergy. But this only shows how radically Arab-Latins have assimilated, moving from an Arab patriarchal background to a very egalitarian Westernized view over the generations.
