Arabs spread their religion through almost everyone.

Today the largest Islamic presence in Latin America is located in Argentina, with about 900 thousand people. In Chile it is estimated that there are 10 thousand Muslims and in the United States today there are 7 million Muslims.

The first Arabs who arrived in Chile were in the year 1895.

They brought many riches, among them were the families, arbuch, basbus, nadurie, hacui, gidi and abraham.

To Chile was not of great magnitude. It is estimated that the total number of Arabs that settled in the country fluctuated between 8 thousand and 10 thousand people, of whom about 50 percent were of Palestinian origin, 30 percent Syrian and 20 percent remaining Lebanese. The itinerary of the Arab migratory chain began in the ports of Beirut, Haifa and Alexandria, passing through Marseilles or Genoa until arriving at Buenos Aires, from where they continued their journey crossing the mountain range on mule back or in the trasandino train.

The Arab population that is in Chile is between 60 thousand to 75 thousand inhabitants.

When they began to arrive, they arrived in the regions of valparaiso and tarapaca.

With the passage of time they were centralized and they arrived n Santiago, to the capital.
