Islam in Argentina : ウィキペディア英語版 | Islam in Argentina Islam in Argentina is represented by one of Latin America's largest Muslim minorities. Although accurate statistics on religion are not available (because the national census does not solicit religious data) the actual size of Argentina's Muslim community is estimated around 1% of the total population (400,000 to 500,000 members) according to the International Religious Freedom Report 2010.〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2010 - Argentina )〕 The Pew Research Centre estimates about 1,000,000 Muslims in Argentina in the year 2010.〔http://features.pewforum.org/muslim-population/?sort=Pop2010〕 The Association of Religion Data Archives however approximates that 1.9% of the population profess Islam as their faith. == Early Muslim immigration == There are some indications that the Muslim presence within present day Argentinian territory dates back to the time of the Spanish exploration and conquest. The first mentioned Berber settlers were the 15th century's Moorish-Morisco (Muslims of the Iberian peninsula of Moroccan North African and Spanish descent) who explored the Americas with Spanish explorers, many of them settling in Argentina who were fleeing from persecution in Spain such as the Spanish Inquisition.〔''Muslims in American History: A Forgotten Legacy'' by Jerald Dirks.〕 However, in the 19th century Argentina saw the first real wave of Arabs to settle within its territory, mostly from Syria and Lebanon. It is estimated that today there are about 3.5 million Argentinians of Arab descent.〔(September 2001 Executive Summary, Racial Discrimination: The Record of Argentina, Human Rights Documentation Center )〕 The majority of these Arab immigrants were Christians and Sephardic Jews, and though accurate information is unavailable, probably less than a quarter of Arab migrants were actually Muslim. The descendants of Arab Jews are more likely to identify themselves as Jewish rather than Arab today. Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim movement first entered the country in 1936.
