Thank you for your comments. Being Latina makes us take ownership of problems and therefore more likely to strive to correct them. Ultimately we want to see Latinos and Arabs attending the mosque together but also returning home with understanding. Islam es para Todos!

I know for a fact all this sister said is true since I am from the Island and went to visit my parents last year and experienced first hand all you explained. Since then I have pondered over the situation in our beloved Island and the reality of the situation is that we DO NOT need the Arabs to come and give Da'wah to our people since ONLY A PUERTO RICAN knows the ways of the "Boricuas"... We need to send a few of these young Muslims to study so that THEY will be the ones to take charge at home. I saw it for myself... Arab Imaams' only concern are for their 'Arab' audience... any convert brother or sister is neglected. I cannot believe there are no classes for learning to READ THE QUR'AN.... when isn't Arabic these people's mother tonge?? There are very good Islamic Universities in the US were our young brothers can come study without the hassle of going away oversees. There are a few Darul 'Ulooms in NY, various in Chicago, and all over. "One who seeks will find"... it's only a matter of seeking the information from those who know and making the effort. I grew up in the Island, and know that for years the Arabs have lived there amongst us... making their money and sending their wives and kids back to Jordan or wherever to be 'educated islamically'... what about the Island, then, not good enough, right!!! It's time to look out for the best interest of OUR PEOPLE, and stop our reliance on those who really have no concern for who we are...ZORROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057263040571662963noreply@blogger.com
