Mexico's Indigenous Minority Converting to Islam
This video is very interesting but barely touches on the subject. It is nevertheless very exciting. My grad thesis is on Latinos converting to Islam and the way they navigate their marginal status. In it I plan to touch on this topic of the indigenous Oaxacans converting to Islam. Anyway, once I collect my data I’ll post more on the topic.

Muslim activists sharing their thoughts on everything from politics to paradise
Muslamics?
The term Muslamics is a cross between Muslims and Islamics, and makes light of the many erroneous labels placed upon Muslims.
As Muslims living in America, we are part of a daily struggle to define ourselves and forge new identities, at a time when our community, and specifically Muslim activists, are in the limelight. Part of this struggle is to reclaim our language.
We are proud to be Muslims and we believe it is part of our duty to convey to others who we are and what we stand for. Therefore, we will take the name Muslamics - originally used as a derogatory term against Muslims - and expose the ignorance behind it, as well as give it a new and positive meaning.

Islam will flourish with former Catholics in places like Mexico because there is such a deep seated desire and belief in an Omnipotent God, just the problem is the hierarchy and dogma of Catholicism and its association with elitist tendency (not talking about the America's theology that i can not remember right now that developed in response to social justice and is being marginalized by the Pope in Rome) has made Catholicism irrelevant, making Evangelical Christianity, Mormon, and even Islam more acceptable.
Every happy to welcome my new brothers and Sisters in Islam, only wished the reporter did a better job (more time) in delving into the community.
