The number of Muslims inArgentina continues to increase, and many of the Muslims in this country, particularly among the immigrants, are of Syrian or Lebanese origin. At the moment, the Muslim population in Argentina alone is in excess of 1,000,000, but because for one reason or another, they lack proper organization and coordination among themselves. For instance, there is a community of 400 Muslim families on the border with Bolivia, yet they do not have a single mosque in which they could meet for prayers, nor do they have a Muslim cleric who could give them guidance and direction in spiritual matters. They do not even have books on Islam and its various teachings and tenets, which they could read and learn from.
