| #5 I'm not worried. The Santa Muerte cultists outnumber them by 15 to 1. A bizarre combination of the Catholic "Mary as goddess" and the Aztec Mictlantecuhtli, they are severely condemned by the Catholic church, but have little chapel-bunkers all over Mexico, often with bullet holes in the windows. Drug dealers, criminals, peasants, and a lot of others worship what is essentially a pagan death diety. Not a cult you want to mess around with. If the Muslims try it on, they will end up having the heart cut out of their chest with an obsidian knife. |

| #4 I don't doubt it, same as African-Americans joining the Nation of Islam. Conversion as a statement of "nationalism". I wouldn't be surprised if there were a strong overlap between converts and La Raza membership or at least attitudes. |

| #3 Much ado about nothing. 75,000 out of 30 million is insignificant. Even 200,000 is less than 1% of all hispanics. The figures also pale in comparison to Blacks, where 10% of Blacks are estimated to the Muslim. In fact, these numbers are in line with White Anglo converts. I.e. not very. Al |
