From Wikipedia:
"There are small but influential Muslim, Buddhist, and Jewish communities. The Muslim community of more than 100,000 is concentrated among persons of Lebanese and Syrian descent living in Nueva Esparta State, Punto Fijo and the Caracas area."
Is it hard to imagine a terrorist organization would expand it's operations into drug smuggling?
- drawnwren 8y agoFwiw, any vet will tell you the craziest firefights in Afghanistan were always when we went for the opium. Terrorism has been in bed with drug smuggling since the beginning.
- SampleBourgeois 8y agoThere's a lot of Lebanese immigrants in Venezuela. Do you think they're all members of Hezbollah?
- lamarpye 8y agoYes. That is what I was implying. Every single one. Or I was providing context, showing that Hezbollah connections to Venezuela are not implausible in this particular reality
- zaphirplane 8y agoThat is a horrible racist argument. to imply that it’s arguable that 3,4,5 generation muslims living in South America are terrorist just because they are. A quick look at your comments says you are not thou. The statement is missguided
- lamarpye 8y agoI get the sense that detecting sarcasm isn't your strong suit.
- zaphirplane 8y agoI realise the 1st paragraph is sarcastic, the original post and the 2nd paragraph is what I’m replying to
- endofcapital 8y agoThe world isn't nearly as dangerous as you've been lead to believe. Not even like within an order of magnitude.
