This is a movie, released in 2008, about a Lebanese immigrant to Brazil.
It lies in one point. Until about 30 years, almost all Lebanese immigrants to Brazil were Christian. (I got this complaint from a Lebanese I met in a chatrooom, who was upset that the title character was a Muslim.)
The movie was a Brazilian-Lebanese co-production.
Starts slow, but there are some interesting photos and video.
I do not speak Portuguese but you can still watch the video. The Brazilians are celebrating 130 years of Lebanese immigration to Brazil.
Almost all of these immigrants were Christian, no matter what the present politically correct practice of including Muslims says.
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.

The idiocy is taking over Latin America
Porto Alegre has a small Palestinian Community. I suppose it would be ridiculous to expect them to sport a pro-Zionist point of view; but it is disturbing that South America is slowly being turned to an anti-Israel viewpoint.
At this point, I do not know what percentage of the Palestinian Community in Porto Alegre is Christian – though overall the vast majority of Arabs in Brazil are Christian.
As an aside, Porto Alegre in found in Rio Grande do Sol which is probably the nicest province in Brazil. Mildly subtropical, with a nice ocean breeze. This conference [A Pro-Palestinian Conference] will be in Brazil’s summer, so one should expect them to have pleasant summer weather, even if the point of the conference is less than noble.
