The origins of Islam in Chile are not very clear. It is known that in 1854 two “Turks” resided in the country, a situation that was repeated in the censuses of 1865 and 1875. Their country of origin is not known, just that they were natives of some territory of the immense Ottoman Empire. Read More

Islam has been growing rapidly in the Latino community since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which prompted many to learn more about Islam beyond the negative media portrayals.

As American Muslims have faced almost a decade of post-9/11 negative stereotyping, Latinos, subject to an anti-immigration backlash, have come to see them as a fellow "minoritized" community,
"You share that common marginalization," said Martínez-Vázquez, who wrote a book about Latino Muslims that was published in January.

The Latino Muslim population is one of the fastest growing communities in the country. Definitive numbers aren't available, but estimates range from 25,000 to 200,000. Martínez-Vázquez puts the number closer to 75,000 to 100,000.

Learning about Islam outside the mass media's filter, some Latinos discovered they preferred it to the religion they grew up with, which was usually Roman Catholicism. Lorena Elkhalafawi, who grew up in Paraguay, was living in New York on 9/11. Read More

The word "Muslim" means "one who submits." Islam is a religion of submission to the will of Allah. The straightforward truth is that someone who is not in control of their own body because they are drunk can not submit to Allah's will, as they have not the control to make that choice. So Islam forbids alcohol primarily for that reason to prevent Shaytan (the Devil) taking control of a person's body when they are too intoxicated to control their body themselves. If that happened the person would not then subject to Allah's will, but rather they would then be a slave to sin. In the Qur'an it says: "Shaytan's plan is to excite enmity and hatred between you, with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer: will ye not then abstain? (Surah 5:91) .......
