Today, Brazil has a population of about 180 million, including several million people from an Arabic background. While most of them are at least nominally Christian, there are several hundred thousand Muslims (including a significant number of illegal aliens).

South Asians from largely Hindu and Muslim backgrounds make up 51% of the population of Guyana. The first Muslims to Guyana were probably Fulanis from Africa. Most are Sunni Muslims attending over 125 mosques.

Paramaribo is the capital of Suriname in the Caribbeans. Most of the 439 thousand people live here in the “city of flowers”. It was settled by the British in the mid-1600s.
