Wow! Some sturdy Latins try out an Arab Restaurant called Arabito (Little Arab).
The restaurant is in a neighborhood (barrio) called Miraflores.
Basically, the two of them are running a food channel.

From sources I have read, the Arab immigrants to Peru were 90% Christian. Again, we notice the emphasis on Christianity. However, I am not sure if the 10% of Arab immigrants who were Islamic have not produced descendants who did not convert to Christianity. According to Wikipedia, there are approximately 15,000 Muslims in Peru, which is far less than 0.1%.
Wikipedia’s figures are more precise, but seem dated (around 1992 or earlier), so I am more cautious in my estimates. What is clear is that the number seems very low.
The Arab numbers in Peru would be weighted heavily in favor of Christianity, probably Catholicism. Indeed, the Arab presence (Christianity or Islamic) does not seem that large in Peru at all. But it is there.
