There are a lot of ties between South American narco-terrorist organizations, some Islamic state actors as well as Islamic terrorist organizations.
Ciudad del Este in Paraguay has a large Muslim diaspora as well, which has long been viewed as an entry point of Global Islamic terrorist groups into Latin America (ie: bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aries) and source of fundraising.

Nothing like bringing your home shit to a foreign country. I seriously doubt anyone in Buenos Aires would have had any beefs with the Israeli embassy except if they brought that hate with them from the middle east.

Pretty sure some people who moved from Europe to Argentina in the 40s would have a problem with the Israeli embassy, and it would have a similar problem with them.

There are Muslim communities all over the world. Most peaceful. But in recent decades Saudi Arabia has been radicalizing many of them with Wahhabism. Communities that have existed in peace for centuries are now preaching radicalism and making their women dress like ninjas. Its sad.

Yes it is sad. I don't care if someone's religious. It's not for me, but maybe it brings them comfort. But their religious privelege stops the moment they are infringing on others, especially how they treat their women like chattel

I'm sure
Like just look it up bro your so wrong it's been a rising issue because the governments of South America were relatively friendly to extremeist groups and ideas

You should read more then just propaganda.
For example understanding long standing islamophobia in Latin American countries.
The myth that is Islamic terrorism in Latin America. And how that myth plays into xenophobic rhetoric
In fact the only couple example of “Islamic terrorism” in Latin America seems to have been largely committed by local neo-Nazis who the government refused to find guilty as they were members of the police for the 1994 bombing.
Or the one in 1992 embassy of Israel which was from a state actor. In fact both appear to be state sponsored attacks.
So remind me again why “Islamic terrorism has been a problem for decades” when we don’t blame Christianity for American attacks on civilians in Afghanistan?
If you did read more then just state propaganda or biased sources you may have prevented yourself and everyone who downvoted from looking stupid.

You know these countries can be Islamophobic (which they absolutely are)
and it doesn't take away from anything i said.
There are and have been known terrorist organizations operating and growing in south America for decades. current they operate as more cartels then terror cells but they are directly linked to or are a part of terror groups abroad.
