@@michellea5415 of course no doubt, we don't have anything against Brazil, but Lebanon is there native land. and they shall come back one day, just like the Jews went back to Israel.
In Colombia we love the Arab community, its culture is very present in us, many Arabs came here. My grandfather was from Lebanon, everyone is welcome to Colombia
Awesome to see someone talking about this, I'm no Arab Latino, but I'm a Brazilian Baptized and follower of the Syrian Orthodox Church. It's a great source of pride to me have the mighty arabs as pillars of our society 🇧🇷🤝🏼🇸🇾🇱🇧
I am a Chilean of Palestinian descent. I'm not religious, but my family was Greek Orthodox when they arrived to Chile in the late XIX century. Brazil has more Lebanese, Argentina more Syrians and Chile more Palestinians.
I heard there are half a million Palestinians in Chile. And I also heard that chileans of Palestinian descent are one of the wealthiest groups in the country sort of like the Jews of America.
Arab or Ereb means mixed and many people in the Spanish speaking or Latin Speaking countries are mixed. Ancient Egypt was black and modern Egypt is mixed so when people say you look like the whiter more mixed people they are just saying you look mixed as Arab or Ereb means mixed. In scripture it goes back to Ishmael and Esav who were mixed or mixed out from their origins. The original groups were black then overtime became more mixed and white like what is seen today. If you read the scriptures it goes over all of that. If you look at the groups around the world they come in black, mixed and white.
@@abdelazizalmoutaouakil1299 The only one who needs to shut the fuck up is you, clearly you can’t read nor did you research the numbers that are the reference of Arab or Ereb meaning mixed. When people mix out they become another group so if you actually could read and if you actually understood scripture then you would know that... What a fucking incompetent stupid.

I’m Mexican and recently just had my DNA tested , this video answers so many questions. I was shocked that I have a large portion of my dna from the Middle East, and North Africa.
I'm of Guatemalan descent... I'm 6ft tall and dnt look like your typical chapin ... did my dna test and I have 20 percent levantine 45 percent Spanish and 22 percent indigenous and 3 percent southern Europe... 10 percent is still unidentified, I felt the same way when I came across my results
Brazil is the main Arab colony outside the Arab world. It is estimated that the direct descendants are between 15 and 20 million people. However, I believe it is much larger, many Brazilians are of Iberian descent from the Algarve, Spain and other southern regions of Portugal, areas in the past inhabited by Portuguese/Spanish with Arab and Moorish ancestry, so it is very difficult to calculate the Arab heritage in Brazil, aside from the fact that this is not much commented upon, few people know about this information.
The first Portuguese who arrived in Brazil were from the south of Portugal. However the largest migrations of Portuguese to Brazil occurred in the 19th century and start of the 20th century from the very north of Portugal, namelly from the regions of Minho and Trás os Montes. The cavaco, that little guitar used in samba music, is the Portuguese cavaquinho used in northern Portuguese folklore. This instrument is also the origin of the Hawaiian ukulele.
My great great grandparents arrived from Syria to northern Argentina in the early 1900's and built tobacco farms forming a little Syrian community over there, by 1960 the farms stopped being productive and they settled in Greater Buenos Aires, which was open countryside at the time, simultaneously with a large group of Italian immigrants. I was born in the 90's and today the neighborhood is a really charming and diverse place with people from everywhere, from Europe to the Middle East to China and even Brazil and other Latin American countries.
Very nice that you are focusing in Brazil/Latin America recently! Syrian-Lebanese influence is very noticeable in Brazil. In my hometown there's a huge mosque, in Sao Paulo metropolis there's a lot of Arab Christian churches and the food from Levant is very common here (the biggest national fast food chain in Brazil is Habib's, Arab food oriented), and so on! My boyfriend is Syrian Japanese mixed! And actually there's a lot of Syrian refugees coming here, and luckily a lot of them are having opportunities to rebuild their lives.
Armenio-brazilian here🖐🏻. Family came from Iskenderun, Ottoman Empire in 1920(You can probably guess the reason😑). And yes they were referred to as Turks. Hayastan!🇦🇲

turc not arab and lebanese syrian not arab and North Africa not arabs 🙂We speak Arabic, but we have others Roots in north africa We are the Berber people The Arabs are limited to Yemen and the Arabian Gulf On every pollination of civilizations there is Europe that did not leave a civilization without pollinating it😂
@jass interesting I sometimes have Indians think I’m one of them, I did a Dna Test, Im Native American, Spanish, And Jewish from the Levant region. I was thinking maybe some south Asian or central Asian but nope hahaha. Also during summer I get dark tan and look more middle eastern and Indian. I believe Indians are darker and I can distinguish them between Arabs and latins.
My great great grandparents came from Syria (under ottoman control) and they speak arab, they were catholic, and they integrated pretty well into the Uruguayan and later the Argentinian society
At the JFK airport I saw a family of middle-eastern-looking descent and clothing next to me in a restaurant, paid no mind since why would I? They switched between their arabic language and english often, and then they started speaking in perfect Argentine Spanish to the point I thought they were gonna ask around "cuántas copas tenés??" it was living immigration history and it was amazing.

Hi there, this video was SPOT ON! I live in the megacity of São Paulo, Brazil. In São Paulo City alone there are over a million people of recent arab descent from recent migrations, mostly christians, but if everyone got their DNA tested the percentages would have been much greater. Take me as an example. My family came from Portugal and Italy mainly, although I am Brazilian, I got 12% of my DNA from the Middle-east and North Africa.....this video is spot on. Being 6% from the middle east, 4% of North Africa and 2% Jewish (obviously that this came from my Portuguese and Italian ancestors, etc. No one in my family is Lebanese for example.). One thing that has surprised me was that I got 52% of my genes from IBERIA, much higher than I had anticipated (not to mention the other Euro areas). 52% is twice the average of the Portuguese populous today so I got a lot more Native Portuguese in me than most Portuguese today. I love Portugal so I was happy about that. Going back to the middle eastern influence in Brazil... aside from Lebanon and Syria I have friends that have ancestors from Egypt, Iraq, Turkey and Palestine and there are a lot of jewish people here from Syria and Lebanon as well. MASAMAN you need to study about our emperors! You will only understand our immigration patterns in Brazil if you study about our Monarchy. Dom Pedro I married an Austrian Princess and had a son, D. Pedro II. He was an incredible guy and his history is incredibly sad and grandious at the same time. He believed that Brazil, needed to have a class of people that came from a strong tradition in trading in remote areas in order to further develop the Brazilian economy, which was mainly agricultural. According to his perception, no one could top various peoples from the ottoman empire. He believed that these people were "natural" traders, and that they would change the culture of Brazil, very based on slavery. That's why he fomented the immigration of arabs and jews to Brazil, so that we could develop our business sector here since most Portuguese, Spaniards and Italians were farmers. He's also fomented immigration from his mum's empire, AUSTRO-Hungary, in order to break the cycle of the slave trade. People need to understand that we had one of the world's FIRST PARLIAMENTARIAN MONARCHIES here. The emperors were ABOLITIONISTS, but the congress was pro-slavery for they were oligarchs. The emperor found in immigration a way to change the culture of Brazil thus ending slavery progressively, not only through politics, but through culture and via a more diverse economy. When he finally ended it, he was thrown out of the country and died poor in a cheap hotel in Paris. He was the greatest man Brazil has ever seen. His daughter, Princess Isabel was freedom activist. After she abolished slavery, she took refuge in France ( she was married to a French man). There, she's saved a lot of people that became refugees in WWI. She was known for sheltering refugees in her house in France. The history of the Brazilian Monarchy is incredible. The republic is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. Dom Pedro the Second was one of the biggest contributors (financially) of 2 notable people, Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. No wonder, Rio had public electricity on the same day NYC did, and was the world's third city to have a phone thanks to Dom Pedro the II, an intellectual who was fluent in 17 languages including 2 native languages, Tupi and Guarani! He was IT!
My Grandfather also came to Brazil because Christans were persequted in Syria and were forced to cnvrt into Islam, when my grandfather landed in Brazil it was like heaven for him, he was supposed to go to America but came to Brazil. It was his life changing moment.
@@bakihanmamaiarbtacharbawechrin from beginning bro, Christians were present 400 years before even Muhammad was born, egypt, turkey, iraq and syria all were Christian countries with over 80% Christian population and after arab invasion they were persequted and froced to change religion. Hagai sophia in turkey was a church and there were over thousands of church in turkey, iraq, syria and Egypt where are they gone? Go and read the history, not the Quran one but written by historians.

pharaonicvs depends a lot on what you want to work in, for males labour demand is huge, in construction sites, almost all Latin Americans here (most of them Brazilians, argentines and Chilean) work in construction: carpentry, metalwork and labour, no matter what your profession was. Wages range from 650 to 2000 kiwi dollars a week.
Ander Galeatxe My advise to you amigo, improve your English to be like the kiwi accent,get yourself an Irish or Maoris wife to assimilate. Actually Maoris are very similar to Latinos and they are the privilege natives of the country, try to learn the language, culture and play rugby. Assimilation is the key because we live in troubled time of xenophobia in Anglo world, Mexicans are paying a big Price because of their lack of assimilation.
DisinfoHasbuiltAnarmyofidiots era of ignorance my friend, my English is better than yours thanks for the advise. It’s improving everyday and by luck I have a nz resident partner and I have never seen discrimination in this country to me or any of my friends. Take care. I don’t need to learn how to play rugby cus I don’t like it I play football every week and I will do it forever. Unlike Mexican people I don’t feel ashamed of my culture and don’t feel victimised by any kind of discrimination.
@@pakboy8202 They'll tell you that they're not. its the same in the US (Oklahoma) where Lebanese people are the most common middle easterners and are usually christian or just straight up non-religious.
Think of Sao Paulo city, the biggest city in the south hemesphere. The previous mayor was of arab descent, Haddad. And the one before him, Kassab. And another famous one from the 90's, Maluf. They really dominate this city. Keep in mind that Sao Paulo is almost a country, with like 20 million ppl.
Actually, most Lebanese in Brazil did not use to marry people outside of their community until the 50's or 60's. A lot of them who already lived here brought women or men from Lebanon in order to marry.
Yes! Ukrainian and Polish in Brazil! I had a classmate in 2nd/3rs grade from Poland and another one in college. Then, out of the clear blue, an Ukrainian/Brazilian ran into me and, told me about a modest number of Ukrainians living in Brazil. Our host does a great job indeed!
Actually, Chile has the largest palestinian community outside of the Middle East. They even have a football team called Palestino, which is like the second National team.

My great grandfather's family (from my mother's side of the family tree) arrive to Argentina coming from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and he had the first sport shop in the city of Mar del Plata. Saliba was his surname, from the arab word "salib", meaning "cross", signalling they were a catholic maronite clan. Some years ago we made contact with the part of the family that stayed over there and keep living in the same town.
Here in Lima the influence of arabs can be seen in downtown Lima architecture. The famous balconies in old buildings from 1800's. I am peruvian and I was so shocked when I was able to see the same balconies in Marroco.

How about a video on the huge Portuguese diaspora worldwide focusing on the genocide of the Portuguese communities in Africa during the Colonial War and the phenomenon of the 'Retornados'?
I found out from my grandma (who lives in Mexico) that her grandpa was a "Turk." She showed me a picture of him. He was wearing a fez hat. I was surprised to find that out. For a while I thought I was part Turkish but seems like I'm more likely part Lebanese. Thanks for the video!
My mom was engaged to a Lebanese immigrant. She eventually dissolved the relationship(he became Druze upon migrating to BR, but very much in touch with his Muslim views), and eventually met my father, who is a New Christian according to his knowledge of our origin, although, he was raised as a Catholic.

Some Lebanese have been tricked by European shippers and ended up in West African countries such as Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone. There are a lot of Lebanese decended people in West Africa. You could make a video about this too!
My Colombian wife’s uncle, a Catholic priest, researched the family history, and he found out that one branch came from Turkey, so for awhile the family believed they were part Turkish. That was until a history teacher friend of mine, who was from Latin America too, explained that my wife was more than likely part Arab. Just how it’s explained here, he told us that since the Middle East was under the Ottoman Empire, all Arabs traveled with a Turkish passport, so it was always noted upon entering any Latin American country that they were coming from Turkey.
Latin America is called Hispanic, multi-cultural, Arab, European and African, after the collapse of Andalusia, many of your ancestors were forced to sail to Latin America
Great video! I was born in Chile and always heard growing up that Chile has the largest Palestinian community outside of Palestine, but I could never figure out how. There’s even a professional soccer team in Chile called Palestino. Thanks again!
Chile has the largest Palestinian community outside the Arab League, not Palestine itself. There are around 4.3 millions of Palestinians in Jordan, a million in Syria and Lebanon and a million in Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE combined. Chile has the forth largest Palestinian community worldwide and the largest outside the Arab League of states.

The Arabic influence in Colombia is very strong, here we have the second largest mosque in Latin America, and in the department of Guajira, dialects of Arabic are spoken, and the city of Maicao, is almost 100% Arabic. In Barranquilla the music has many Arabic influences, and in cities like Cali, which is in the department of Valle del Cauca, people eat a lot of kibbes, which is a typical Lebanese dish, but it was assimilated and became something typical in the city of Cali, Colombia has had 3 presidents of Arabic descent, as well as many famous people at a national level are of Arabic descent. And at a national level, in Colombia is very popular the Hummus/Tahini and the Arabian bread, besides that we love to put Arabian songs in the parties.
We are cousins from south Spain Andulicia plus but 1499 many muslims killed by Christians and force to leave Spain or change their relegion to Catolism..
Most of colombian arab are primary christian over 90-95% of the arab colombian are chrdirian 5% are muslim or jew or druze and number of mosque in colombia is very small and mostly arab colombian being christian
The Brazilian Emperor, Dom Pedro II, was a friend of *Gobineau* who told the Emperor that Syrian and Lebanese people were of good/noble stock (partially Greco-Roman blood), so as early as the time of the Brazilian Empire, Christian people from these regions were arriving.
Lots of Arabs in Latin America, but they have adopted Latin American culture and language. We don’t have the crazy multiculturalism integration problems of Europe, perhaps because we are not welfare states.
It is much easier to integrate ppl with same religion as the host country. What happens in Europe now is the opposite. The arabs that move there now are muslims
Kokainuser Europe is not one country. Different European countries have different languages, different cultures, different discourses and different history. Muslims are part of some European countries since centuries, but not all European countries. If you were a Muslim and for some strange reason decided to settle down here in Sweden 200 years ago, you would have to convert to the Lutheran state religion of Sweden, or you would face legal consequences. Things have really changed here since then.
The majority of Middle-Easterners immigrants that came to Brazil were Christians, but also there were Muslims too, but they fastly adopted Christianity and assimilated into our culture. I don't see this happening in Europe, where Muslims refuse to assimilate and lock themselves into their own Ghettos.
It's nice that you made this video, I'm Mexican white with Spaniard, French, German, Austrian and Arab ancestry, the last to come to Mexico being the arabs and the Austrian thanks Maximiliam the emperor of Mexico
Tacos de Pastor (my fav types of tacos) were actually created after Lebanese immigrants came to Mexico and introduced "Shawarma" and they incorporated to Mexican cuisine. You can see in 5:28 what I'm talking about.
Francine Kloh native americans actually have some ancient links to turkish people, they interacted with eachother in asia before they crossed the ic ecaps into alaska.
She still could, Because an ancestor from one of her arab ancestors could have mixed with a turkish. Morely from the Levant Or even an Italian ancestor can have turkish, some italians do have that mix. So anything is possible.
Jhon Henry Trump doesn't hate Arabs or Mexicans, he hates Islamists and illegal immigrants. I am also of middle Eastern levantani descent but I was born in Pakistan, I am chritian and I will probably go for a Latin American nation too.

One of the highest profile figures of argentinian nationalism of the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s was a colonel of levantine/druze origin, Mohamed Ali Seineldin. He was the only colonel and high ranking officer of the Argentinian Army to step on the Falklands/Malvinas Islands.
As a Brazilian I can tell you that if you’re an immigrant you’re all good in Brazil, unless if you try to distance yourself from Brazilians. If you’re in Brazil you should get integrated and mingle with The population, not separate and isolate. That’s mostly how we believe it should be with foreigners down there, that’s why it’s worked so far
11:08 the star with blue background is a mix of Chile’s flag and Palestine’s (Chile has the most Palestinians outside from the Middle East).

1) syrian-lebanese cousine is the best and very popular in Brazil. 2) Many brazilians don't recognize Michel Temer as president as he is a thief and hasn't been elected directly. 3) Brazil welcomed many foreigners and immigrants, who quite live peacefully with no bigots for races or ethnicity (not talking about criminality which is hard there), but it should take a better treatment with the Native Americans as they've had their lands stolen and societies destroyed by european conquerors and many still suffer today with farmers inside the government stealing their lands.
Brazilian with Morisco background here. In fact, Brazilians with Morisco (not Marrano) background usually do not know they have it.

In Peru you may find an important arab comunity in Lima(libanese, Sirian and paletine) and Tacna(more pakistani) you can also see many arab heritage people in politics( example Daniel Abugattas, salvador heressi) , artists and business.,etc.
This is true, actually (Tacna has a sizable Middle Eastern/Saudi diaspora. Not sure about Pakistanis, never heard of them). Some people belonging to the Limeanian upper class are of Arab-descent. However, no one practices Islam other than Arab expatriates.

I'm glad to see this video. I was curious about that because I've noticed that some of the most well-known Latinos have middle eastern ancestry: Carlos Slim, Salma Hayek, Shakira.
I'm sorry to tell you that you're speaking from ignorance. I never said they were muslims. All of the palestinean people that left to Chile were christians, and the great majority were orthodox christians who converted to catholicism. You're assuming that all arabs are muslims, and thats pure ignorance. These palestineans were escaping from the islamic opression of the Otoman Empire. They integrated to the chilean society very well, two of my best university friends are palestinean descendants, and they behave exactly like any other chilean. Maybe the only difference is that some of them have basic knowledge of arab, the girls can do the arab dance, and that they support their own football team. But in general, the chilean culture only became richier thanks to the palestinean inmigration. To be honest, I think that if they had been muslims, maybe the integration could have taken a little longer, but still, Chile welcomes with open arms everyone who's willing to form part of this remote country. I don't know why you have this bad predisposition to everything thats related to Palestine. Maybe you're a jew. Let me tell you that in my group of friends there is also a guy that is jew, and he has a great friendship with the palestinean guys, because they say "let the problems between palestienan and jews in Israel stay in Israel". They live here in the othersideof the world, and they have no reason to hate each other.

Since most Arabs migrated to Mexico during the Ottoman empire, they were called Turcos, not Arabs.

In NYC, all the " Arab" corner shop, which are mostly operated by Yemeni, they all look like hispanic men.
Arab or Ereb means mixed and many people in the Spanish speaking or Latin Speaking countries are mixed. Ancient Egypt was black and modern Egypt is mixed so when people say you look like the whiter more mixed people they are just saying you look mixed as Arab or Ereb means mixed. In scripture it goes back to Ishmael and Esav who were mixed or mixed out from their origins. The original groups were black then overtime became more mixed and white like what is seen today. If you read the scriptures it goes over all of that.
If you look at the groups around the world they come in black, mixed and white.

Brazil is the main Arab colony outside the Arab world. It is estimated that the direct descendants are between 15 and 20 million people. However, I believe it is much larger, many Brazilians are of Iberian descent from the Algarve, Spain and other southern regions of Portugal, areas in the past inhabited by Portuguese/Spanish with Arab and Moorish ancestry, so it is very difficult to calculate the Arab heritage in Brazil, aside from the fact that this is not much commented upon, few people know about this information.
The first Portuguese who arrived in Brazil were from the south of Portugal. However the largest migrations of Portuguese to Brazil occurred in the 19th century and start of the 20th century from the very north of Portugal, namelly from the regions of Minho and Trás os Montes. The cavaco, that little guitar used in samba music, is the Portuguese cavaquinho used in northern Portuguese folklore. This instrument is also the origin of the Hawaiian ukulele.

My great great grandparents arrived from Syria to northern Argentina in the early 1900's and built tobacco farms forming a little Syrian community over there, by 1960 the farms stopped being productive and they settled in Greater Buenos Aires, which was open countryside at the time, simultaneously with a large group of Italian immigrants. I was born in the 90's and today the neighborhood is a really charming and diverse place with people from everywhere, from Europe to the Middle East to China and even Brazil and other Latin American countries.

Hi there, this video was SPOT ON! I live in the megacity of São Paulo, Brazil. In São Paulo City alone there are over a million people of recent arab descent from recent migrations, mostly christians, but if everyone got their DNA tested the percentages would have been much greater. Take me as an example. My family came from Portugal and Italy mainly, although I am Brazilian, I got 12% of my DNA from the Middle-east and North Africa.....this video is spot on. Being 6% from the middle east, 4% of North Africa and 2% Jewish (obviously that this came from my Portuguese and Italian ancestors, etc. No one in my family is Lebanese for example.). One thing that has surprised me was that I got 52% of my genes from IBERIA, much higher than I had anticipated (not to mention the other Euro areas). 52% is twice the average of the Portuguese populous today so I got a lot more Native Portuguese in me than most Portuguese today. I love Portugal so I was happy about that.
Going back to the middle eastern influence in Brazil... aside from Lebanon and Syria I have friends that have ancestors from Egypt, Iraq, Turkey and Palestine and there are a lot of jewish people here from Syria and Lebanon as well. MASAMAN you need to study about our emperors! You will only understand our immigration patterns in Brazil if you study about our Monarchy. Dom Pedro I married an Austrian Princess and had a son, D. Pedro II. He was an incredible guy and his history is incredibly sad and grandious at the same time. He believed that Brazil, needed to have a class of people that came from a strong tradition in trading in remote areas in order to further develop the Brazilian economy, which was mainly agricultural. According to his perception, no one could top various peoples from the ottoman empire. He believed that these people were "natural" traders, and that they would change the culture of Brazil, very based on slavery. That's why he fomented the immigration of arabs and jews to Brazil, so that we could develop our business sector here since most Portuguese, Spaniards and Italians were farmers.
He's also fomented immigration from his mum's empire, AUSTRO-Hungary, in order to break the cycle of the slave trade. People need to understand that we had one of the world's FIRST PARLIAMENTARIAN MONARCHIES here. The emperors were ABOLITIONISTS, but the congress was pro-slavery for they were oligarchs. The emperor found in immigration a way to change the culture of Brazil thus ending slavery progressively, not only through politics, but through culture and via a more diverse economy. When he finally ended it, he was thrown out of the country and died poor in a cheap hotel in Paris. He was the greatest man Brazil has ever seen. His daughter, Princess Isabel was freedom activist. After she abolished slavery, she took refuge in France ( she was married to a French man). There, she's saved a lot of people that became refugees in WWI. She was known for sheltering refugees in her house in France. The history of the Brazilian Monarchy is incredible. The republic is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. Dom Pedro the Second was one of the biggest contributors (financially) of 2 notable people, Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. No wonder, Rio had public electricity on the same day NYC did, and was the world's third city to have a phone thanks to Dom Pedro the II, an intellectual who was fluent in 17 languages including 2 native languages, Tupi and Guarani! He was IT!
TRAVELZILLA I.am sure

My Colombian wife’s uncle, a Catholic priest, researched the family history, and he found out that one branch came from Turkey, so for awhile the family believed they were part Turkish. That was until a history teacher friend of mine, who was from Latin America too, explained that my wife was more than likely part Arab. Just how it’s explained here, he told us that since the Middle East was under the Ottoman Empire, all Arabs traveled with a Turkish passport, so it was always noted upon entering any Latin American country that they were coming from Turkey.

Great video! I was born in Chile and always heard growing up that Chile has the largest Palestinian community outside of Palestine, but I could never figure out how. There’s even a professional soccer team in Chile called Palestino. Thanks again!
Chile has the largest Palestinian community outside the Arab League, not Palestine itself.
There are around 4.3 millions of Palestinians in Jordan, a million in Syria and Lebanon and a million in Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE combined.
Chile has the forth largest Palestinian community worldwide and the largest outside the Arab League of states.
saludos! Lebanese Mexican here. grandparents escaped ottoman empire in 1906 and came here. Thank god!
Guess you are focusing more on Latin America now a days .
I always wanted to know about The Arab settlers in Latin America .
Now I know how Luciana Zogbi ended up in Brazil.
rizwan hussain
Because the racial admixture Latin America has one of the most interesting and diverse demographics in the world. So it gives him a lot of content
Ok count me as a stupid , if it makes you happy . As I know it wouldn't hurt me .
The Arabic influence in Colombia is very strong, here we have the second largest mosque in Latin America, and in the department of Guajira, dialects of Arabic are spoken, and the city of Maicao, is almost 100% Arabic.
In Barranquilla the music has many Arabic influences, and in cities like Cali, which is in the department of Valle del Cauca, people eat a lot of kibbes, which is a typical Lebanese dish, but it was assimilated and became something typical in the city of Cali, Colombia has had 3 presidents of Arabic descent, as well as many famous people at a national level are of Arabic descent.
And at a national level, in Colombia is very popular the Hummus/Tahini and the Arabian bread, besides that we love to put Arabian songs in the parties.
good
We are cousins from south Spain Andulicia plus but 1499 many muslims killed by Christians and force to leave Spain or change their relegion to Catolism..
Most of colombian arab are primary christian over 90-95% of the arab colombian are chrdirian 5% are muslim or jew or druze and number of mosque in colombia is very small and mostly arab colombian being christian
@@ozzieheadwood2506 number of muslim in colombia is very small the number is between 10.000 to 30.000 to somewhere 50.000 to 60.000 or less than 0.1%
Number of muslim in colombia is very small
Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan's husband) is a Lebanese-Cuban.
Paula Abdul's father family were Syrian Jews who left Syria to go to Brazil.
Cheers from a Spanish Brazilian also Moroccan descendant from Brazil!
I am Brazilian and of Syrian-Lebanese-Italian descent
Shakira is Latina Arab descent
What do you say when some country has a bloody civil war on the other side of the globe?
*COME TO BRAZIL*
*LiMao lLoloLoooLLkoakdl*
OkThisllbeMyName lol
Ahuehuehue
YES
The Brazilian Emperor, Dom Pedro II, was a friend of *Gobineau* who told the Emperor that Syrian and Lebanese people were of good/noble stock (partially Greco-Roman blood), so as early as the time of the Brazilian Empire, Christian people from these regions were arriving.
Main influx of immigrants into Brazil only took place more than 20 years after this tho. Starting specially in the early 1900s
Lots of Arabs in Latin America, but they have adopted Latin American culture and language. We don’t have the crazy multiculturalism integration problems of Europe, perhaps because we are not welfare states.
Modern MGTOW no welfare state, no racial discrimination (because of their ambiguous looks), and no crazy religion, no problems
It is much easier to integrate ppl with same religion as the host country. What happens in Europe now is the opposite. The arabs that move there now are muslims
Kokainuser Europe is not one country. Different European countries have different languages, different cultures, different discourses and different history. Muslims are part of some European countries since centuries, but not all European countries. If you were a Muslim and for some strange reason decided to settle down here in Sweden 200 years ago, you would have to convert to the Lutheran state religion of Sweden, or you would face legal consequences. Things have really changed here since then.
The majority of Middle-Easterners immigrants that came to Brazil were Christians, but also there were Muslims too, but they fastly adopted Christianity and assimilated into our culture.
I don't see this happening in Europe, where Muslims refuse to assimilate and lock themselves into their own Ghettos.
Current president of the Dominican Republic is of Arab descent
I thought he was Italian
I'm from Barranquilla with Lebanese decent from my mother side of the family ( we loveeee Arab food )
Lebanese people aren't Arab
@Romeo 300 Who cares, they also speak French and they're not french lmao
@Romeo 300 If I offended you, it was not my intention, it was just a misunderstanding
@@hijacked_1153 Ok my friends are Maronite and they say that they aren't Arab
@@JoseEduardoRodney alot of lebanese people say they are Phoenicians and not arabs but theres also alot that says they actually are arabs
It's nice that you made this video, I'm Mexican white with Spaniard, French, German, Austrian and Arab ancestry, the last to come to Mexico being the arabs and the Austrian thanks Maximiliam the emperor of Mexico
Tacos de Pastor (my fav types of tacos) were actually created after Lebanese immigrants came to Mexico and introduced "Shawarma" and they incorporated to Mexican cuisine. You can see in 5:28 what I'm talking about.
Wow, I'm Brazilian and this video got me wondering if i have some Turkish/Arabic blood in me, because I sure have about everything else!
Francine Kloh
DNA Test, got some deals for the holidays now
Francine Kloh you get a Wall
Francine Kloh arabs and turks are different
Francine Kloh native americans actually have some ancient links to turkish people, they interacted with eachother in asia before they crossed the ic ecaps into alaska.
She still could, Because an ancestor from one of her arab ancestors could have mixed with a turkish. Morely from the Levant
Or even an Italian ancestor can have turkish, some italians do have that mix. So anything is possible.
#ARABS mean the HISTORY
And HISTORY mean #ARABS ☝🏽✌🏽♥️
I'm Mexican of lebanese and palestinian descent, trump worse nightmare.
Jhon Henry what religion you are?
AXB DaZ I have no religion but was raised catholic.
Jhon Henry Trump doesn't hate Arabs or Mexicans, he hates Islamists and illegal immigrants. I am also of middle Eastern levantani descent but I was born in Pakistan, I am chritian and I will probably go for a Latin American nation too.
Imam Obama was worst night mare, blaspheming God and calling a murderous enslaving rapist with a six year old wife 'the great prophet of Islam, Mohammed'.
ehsan_iq that's the same damn question I ask myself every single day of my life. Not surprised enough? Here I'm also pro-freedom of speech and liberal. I am lucky enough to live in the most westernised society here. Also a lot of other foreign people live here, my neighbours are Chinese.
I'm from Barranquilla and indeed we have a huge influence mostly from Arabs and in an smaller amount Jewish influence. So proud of my roots and being part of this city
¡Viva Barranquilla!
Nice! Arab Mexican here
Shakira is an example of arabic origin in Colombia. she is from Barranquilla.
Fantastico. Amigo, podrias decirme se la culinaria arabe es muy popular en Colombia? Aca en Brasil nos gusta mucho la comida arabe (kibem kafta, esfiha...), y es el mismo en los paises vecinos?
No afuera de la costa caribe, lo mas predominante es la comida pseudo africana, pseudo porque no nos parecemos mucho, pero se ven las raices
Will you make a video about the australian aborigenes?
Thanks for these videos about ethnic studies, learning more from TH-cam than a damn class in college 😂
it's unspoken because the first european colonizers were already a mix of arabs and europeans
I’m from Venezuela and I’m of Sephardic descent, and many of my friends are from Syrian and Lebanese descent.
One of the highest profile figures of argentinian nationalism of the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s was a colonel of levantine/druze origin, Mohamed Ali Seineldin. He was the only colonel and high ranking officer of the Argentinian Army to step on the Falklands/Malvinas Islands.
No, era teniente coronel como también lo fue aldo rico y lamentablemente seienldin murió en la deshonra por el acuartelamiento de Villa martelli
As a Brazilian I can tell you that if you’re an immigrant you’re all good in Brazil, unless if you try to distance yourself from Brazilians. If you’re in Brazil you should get integrated and mingle with The population, not separate and isolate. That’s mostly how we believe it should be with foreigners down there, that’s why it’s worked so far
That's how it should be in every country
@@babla69420 I agree.
11:08 the star with blue background is a mix of Chile’s flag and Palestine’s (Chile has the most Palestinians outside from the Middle East).
The tree with the yellow is obviously a mix of Brazil’s flag and Lebanon’s
And the last one is a mix between Venezuela’s flag and Yemen’s flag.
YO MASAMAN HIT ME UP WITH A CHALLENGE NOT THIS. 😎
The last one was supposed to be Venezuela and Syria, but I suppose either could work. Perhaps I should make a
regular game of this on the channel? I love creating these hybrid flag designs
dang! i was close xD, and yeah you should. its a fun little addition to the video ;)
Varaga Ashede the first one is the puerto rican flag mixed with something else
Miguel mejia or the Palestinian flag with the Chilean star....
1) syrian-lebanese cousine is the best and very popular in Brazil. 2) Many brazilians don't recognize Michel Temer as president as he is a thief and hasn't been elected directly. 3) Brazil welcomed many foreigners and immigrants, who quite live peacefully with no bigots for races or ethnicity (not talking about criminality which is hard there), but it should take a better treatment with the Native Americans as they've had their lands stolen and societies destroyed by european conquerors and many still suffer today with farmers inside the government stealing their lands.
Brazilian with Morisco background here. In fact, Brazilians with Morisco (not Marrano) background usually do not know they have it. Mine was easier because surname + genetics, but still weird when people ask "where's your family came from" and I say "Morocco"...people think it's too far while Morocco is closer to Brazil than any other European country lol
Moriscos are not morrocain they are northafrican the man how conquer spain is algerian
Unfortunately some Algerians are no humble to admit the reality that Algeria did not exist in the past And it was just founded during the French colonization of the region. Nice to meet you my brother
That's why America is also called the Hope Continent, all the world live almost in peace here. We have DNA from all the world in our blood from north to south, from east to west.
In Peru you may find an important arab comunity in Lima(libanese, Sirian and paletine) and Tacna(more pakistani) you can also see many arab heritage people in politics( example Daniel Abugattas, salvador heressi) , artists and business.,etc.
NSDA X Pakistanis aren’t Arab
This is true, actually (Tacna has a sizable Middle Eastern/Saudi diaspora. Not sure about Pakistanis, never heard of them).
Some people belonging to the Limeanian upper class are of Arab-descent. However, no one practices Islam other than Arab expatriates.
mmmm nah, allá no no saben ni que es un quibbe (siendo este plato el más famoso) allá hubo migración principalmete asiatica.
This explains why Brazilians are hot
S Al Ameri yeah I love it 😍
Sabazius You don't like fat asses?
Peter Geramin Don't get the point of it, that's where you shit.
Latissimus Dorsi Shakira is half spanish half lebanese
@Benito Lopez: You're both correct, as Catalan is an ethnicity (they're an ethnicity within Spain) but not a nationality, but Spanish is a nationality.
Very impressed! Very accurate! I’m from Barranquilla- Colombia and Lebanese and Arab food is almost part of our city gastronomic culture. Shakira - Shakira
Is lebanese food please there are 22 countries only politically arabic but Lebanon was forced to embrace the arab title .. please lebanese food has nothing to do with egyptian or saudi arabia or north africa saludos
We call it Arab food , but is Lebanese, but even the Lebanese and Syrians from Barranquilla call it Arab food/ restaurants in Barranquilla.
@@jorgebarrios437 ya te explique arriba pq no es comida árabe .. es comida libanesa , en los países árabes verdaderos su gastronomía es totalmente diferente , en norte Africa igual .. Líbano es una tierra fértil ni lo sirios comen como nosotros y imitan a mucho de nuestra rica gastronomía .. conocí a muchos mexicanos solían decir que son sirios sin saber la verdad , cuando investigo sus origen descubrí que vinieron de pueblos pertenecen al libano .. lo que pasó cuando Francia controlaba ambos país los ciudadanos tenían un pasaporte dónde dice siria y libano .. y otra cosa tu eres colombiano latino pero no significa que la comida mexicana es tuya pq Mexico también es país latino .. espero que entendiste mi punto de vista saludos
Is lizards and locusts part of your food too
@@husgul2245
We are the proud Arabs of Lebanon.
Troll somewhere else.
I'm glad to see this video. I was curious about that because I've noticed that some of the most well-known Latinos have middle eastern ancestry: Carlos Slim, Salma Hayek, Shakira.
@Masaman you forgot to mention that Chile has the biggest palestinean community in the world (500.000)
I'm sorry to tell you that you're speaking from ignorance. I never said they were muslims. All of the palestinean people that left to Chile were christians, and the great majority were orthodox christians who converted to catholicism. You're assuming that all arabs are muslims, and thats pure ignorance. These palestineans were escaping from the islamic opression of the Otoman Empire.
They integrated to the chilean society very well, two of my best university friends are palestinean descendants, and they behave exactly like any other chilean. Maybe the only difference is that some of them have basic knowledge of arab, the girls can do the arab dance, and that they support their own football team. But in general, the chilean culture only became richier thanks to the palestinean inmigration.
To be honest, I think that if they had been muslims, maybe the integration could have taken a little longer, but still, Chile welcomes with open arms everyone who's willing to form part of this remote country.
I don't know why you have this bad predisposition to everything thats related to Palestine. Maybe you're a jew. Let me tell you that in my group of friends there is also a guy that is jew, and he has a great friendship with the palestinean guys, because they say "let the problems between palestienan and jews in Israel stay in Israel". They live here in the othersideof the world, and they have no reason to hate each other.
Lo escribí como a las tres de la mañana y es solo un comentario de TH-cam, no esperes que te responda a modo académico.
En todo caso, parece que te hizo sentido lo que te escribí, porque ni te molestaste en responder al fondo del asunto.
Espero haber logrado abrir un poco tu mente al hacerte la increíble revelación de que existen árabes tan católicos como tú.
Saludos!

When did a DNA test I came back 5 percent Jewish and then I looked into the history of the state my mom was from in mexico and it turns out I am most likely a descendant of the Jewish conversos would be never known without the DNA testing though.
Careful.
European Jews are actually Italians, genetically. They aren't actually Arabic.
John NoNameGibbon Idiot.
From which state does your mom comes from? I'm curious as mine also comes from Mexico.
Seeking Truth
European Jews aren't the same race as Arab Jews. What planet are you living in? Jerry Springer is Arab looking to you?
Mary
The Spanish Moors weren't actually Arabs, though. According to most scholars they were converts (they were openly racist towards Arabs). And Spanish Jews were genetically different from Middle Easter Jews. You're assuming a lot.
Do a video about Scandinavians in America
