Mexico's Indigenous Minority Converting to Islam Video Print E-mail

Mexico's Indigenous Minority Converting to Islam Video (2min 27sec). Compared to other countries in Latin America with sizeable Muslim communities, Mexico's Muslim population is tiny. In southern Mexico, the indigenous Mayan population is a minority. But another minority is being created within that group, as more and more Mayans convert from Catholicism. In Chiapas, Frank Contreras takes a look at how Islam is gaining a foothold in the region.

"...Spanish Muslim settlers established this community of Sunnis 13 years ago when an armed rebellion for indigenous rights brought global attention to Chiapas. Today Muslims here have their own separate community complete with school and restaurant and some 300 new believers..."

Aisha Nuria: "Teaching Koran early in the day is fundamental. It relaxes the children and warms their hearts."
