And that is how it should be everywhere. Islam must never be allowed to spread.

The reason that Muslims do not even emigrate much to Latin-America is because of the strong Christian traditions and celebrations and that Latin American culture is a clear opposite of Islam. Almost everything Latin-Americans in general love is Haram (prohibited) in Islam. Alcohol, bikinis and thongs on the beach, pork, erotic dance music (reggaeton, soca, funk, etc.) are all a very ingrained part of Latin-American culture in general. We’re too culturally different to be welcoming to the practice of Islam.
Islam is the polar opposite of most Latin-Americans and Caribbeans, who are fun-loving, boozing, partying, pork-loving, sex-loving people. That’s the mentality. That’s why Islam has found it so hard to break into Latin-America, or as a funny Muslim man once explained it to me, he said “Many of the few Muslims that come here end up drunk on the beach, chomping on a pork leg sandwich (pernil), while some sexy mami in a thong lap dances on them.” He did business in Latin America (I was his client) and he told me that he would never raise a family here because Muslim parents would have a very hard time controlling their sons and daughters here, because it’s not a good environment for a practicing Muslim family.
Muslims are breeding more children in their Western European host countries than the natives are, this in time will replace the Western Europeans and might make others consider adopting the majority religion. In Latin America, the breeding rate is as high as the Muslim one, so even if a large number of Muslims tried to become majority through breeding, they couldn't. While in Islam one man can have four wives, in Latin America, you see some women that have children from four different men, and those men in turn have children with four different women, so…
The other thing is that Latin-America in general is not politically correct. There is no way of using the law to advance Islam even if the law states that there is freedom of religion. If a Muslim demands for example, that the church of a university be declared non-denominational so he can pray there, that…will…never…happen. If Muslims demand that Christmas be practiced at home and not in public spaces such as public schools, hospitals, parks, etc. that…will…never…happen. It’s hard to be a practicing Muslim in Latin America, and that’s why I believe that Islam has as much of a chance of making it in Latin America as it does in China. NONE.

Latin America was almost completely Catholic, but it has had people who converted from Catholicism to various Protestant type sects. You have had some Muslim immigrants to places like Brazil, Columbia, Chile, and parts of Central America, but they are small minorities.
