  The Associated press by Allan Turner.

  This is a interesting turn of events, people grounded in Catholicism I'am surprised.

  Latinos now comprise almost 40 percent of the population in Texas and 20 percent in the

  U.S. Pew reports that almost 1 in 4 identify themselves as former Catholics. By the

  second half of the century, Islam is projected to become the world's dominant religion.

  Now, with the opening early this year of Centro Islamico, Texas'-and possibly the nation's-only

  Spanish-language mosque, the city is poised to become a center of Hispanic Muslim teaching.

  By some estimation as many as 300000 Latinos follow Prophet Muhammad's teaching.

  The brand ambassador for Islam in Spanish Miss Morales said, she attended Mormon, Baptist and

  Jehovah's Witness services and then she bought a Quran and the rest is history.

  The next question, is there Islam in Latin America? Posted by Rosemary Pennington 2010.

  "I think Latin America has been one of the forgotten regions because of the Spanish and

  Portuguese" says Project director Maria Logrono.

  How is it today, this report made in 2010.

  I'm in Houston and we have a lot of Hispanic Muslims here. There is a jummah in Spanish here already, I think, but not a whole mosque. There is a Ladies Mosque in the works, too. "The pink mosque" which I think is kind of trite, but I guess it keeps it clear. . .

  Don't you think this may create a problem for Hispanic Muslims in the US? The first time you have a

  Hispanic terrorist at will lock down the border. For some reason I can't picture Hispanic

  Muslims.

  James Mixon,

  The first time you have a Hispanic terrorist at will lock down the border.
  

  Right wing hatemongers will have a holiday.

  There are people of all descents that come to our country and harm others. It only seems to matter when they are Muslim or Hispanic. I guess you can make of that what you will. A criminal Arab(or any variation of brown who might be assumed to be Muslim because of general origins but) who turns out to be Christian or something else quickly disappears from the headlines once their religion is confirmed to NOT be Muslim

  A criminal Arab(or any variation of brown who might be assumed to be Muslim because of general origins but) who turns out to be Christian or something else quickly disappears from the headlines once their religion is confirmed to NOT be Muslim

  And how many Christian Arab extremists/terrorists are there?
