About the Annual Conference on Islam Among Latino Americans

Islam has become a growing force among Latino Americans. Islam is also part of the heritage of many Latino Americans. ISNA held the first conference on this subject some 20 years ago. Today, ISNA is poised to take a fresh look and foster ways of recognizing Latino Muslim Americans.

"In recent years, Islamic teaching has begun gaining acceptance among members of the Latino Community. Scores of Latinos throughout the country, specifically in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Miami have fled the church of their birth and embraced Islam as their newfound faith." (Margarat Ramirez, Religion Correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, April 12, 1999).

Last year, many Muslims attended ISNA's Islam in America conferences. There were more Latinos at last year's event than in previous years. Alhamdulila, we have been blessed by a growing Latino Muslim community.
