      Nah, the lowest estimates put Muslims at 0.1% of the Brazilian population, while the highest (according to the Federation of Muslim Associations in Brazil) puts it at 0.7%, though that number is very unreliable.

      Their numbers are low enough that our census doesn’t count them directly, since there are other, larger minority faiths, but chances are there are fewer than a hundred thousand Muslims in all of Brazil.

      Does the info on the Falkland and French Guiana locally from their territories or is it the info on the UK and France in general ?

      Fun fact, Suriname has always had the highest rate (around 30%) and always will, as almost a fourth of the country is of Javanese, Indonesian heritage

      Also known for having mosques, synagogues and churches all on the same street in harmony

      About a decade ago I remember reading an article about native peoples in central America converting to islam by whole villages. I think that is why we see large percentages in El Salvador.

      Edit: It was actually in Mexico among the Tzotzil and Tzeltal indigenous tribes in the 1990s, they converted from Sufi missionaries.

      I know Suriname, Guyana, and Trinidad had large immigrant populations from the Muslim parts of India and Indonesia going all the way back to the 1800s.

      I don’t know what’s the source for this but the Muslim population in Brazil is absolutely not higher than .5%, Muslims are very rare in Brazil

      Interestingly enough, Chile has the largest diaspora of Palestinian descendants outside the Middle East (around half a million people), but they don’t appear in these statistics because it was overwhelmingly Christian Palestinians who chose to migrate to the country.
