Hispanic Americans leaving Catholicism for Islam (video)
August 25, 2013 by creeping
via BBC News – Changing faiths: Hispanic Americans leaving Catholicism for Islam.
With more than 50 million Hispanics living in the US, the Latino community is now the country’s biggest minority.
While most are brought up within the Catholic Church, a number of them are turning to Islam.
Precise figures are difficult to pin down
as the US Census does not collect religious data, but estimates for the
number of Latino Muslims vary between 100,000 and 200,000.
The BBC’s Katy Watson went to Union City in New Jersey – where the population is more than 80% Hispanic – to meet some converts.
A quick search online and every few years since 9/11 this same exact story pops up. Part propaganda part reality.
