Why America’s Latinas Are Rushing To Islam by POPdecorator: 12:19pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Two of America’s fastest growing demographics
are showing signs of convergence, as Hispanics
are increasingly converting to Islam. This
traditionally Catholic people are giving up their
religion because they’re looking for an orderly
identity and increased respect, although their
Islamic conversions come with a few major
social hurdles.
America’s Leaders
Hispanics and Islam are the leading growth
demographics in the US, according to the 2010
US Census. Islam grew by over half
between 2000 and 2010, reaching 2.6 million
adherents. This makes it the largest non-
Christian religion in the country, whose expansion
shows no signs of abating. Official statistics also
forecast that whites will no longer be a majority
in America by 2043, largely due to the
astronomical growth of the Hispanic population.
This means that the country will be seeing more
Hispanics and Muslims, with the Latina converts
bridging the two.
Female conversion to Islam has grown to 41%
of the total since 2000. Among the Hispanic
community, which is 12% of all new converts,
Latinas were over half. This means that they
form a demographic vanguard for Islamic
conversion within the US. So far, New York, New
Jersey, Illinois, and Florida are the states
boasting of Latino Muslim growth, and not
coincidentally, these are also some of the places
with the fastest growing rates of Hispanic
immigration.
Order, Identity, and Respect
Latinas are embracing Islam for a variety
of factors, no least for the order that it brings
to their lives. |

Muslims and al taquiya, since when did islam become a religion that people respect? and I wonder what you mean by "order in their lives" when most muslim countries are in disarray globally today. |

Pavore9: Muslims can be so ridiculous when they are telling their lies. How can the most destructive religion on the planet that is causing unrest globally bring order to anyone's life Muslim way of thinking is really warped. |
