With the start of the holy month of Ramadan

With the start of the holy month of Ramadan, Latinos are noticing that a significant number of their neighbors have started observing fasting and other Islamic rituals pertaining to Ramadan, Latin Times reported.

Hispanic Americans are slowly but increasingly converting to Islam, growing Muslim populations in Latino-heavy regions like California.

Muslims celebrating Ramadan in Central and South America include both Muslim immigrants and a small number of converts. The United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico have the largest Muslim populations in the Americas.
