In Venezuela there is a very important population that was born in Syria and in Lebanon, as well as their children. In fact, you can see a large number of companies managed by them. But this does not matter much. What really matters is that there are activities of individuals turning to Islam to indigenous groups, there is a growing and important arrival of people from Iran, Syria and Lebanon and, worse yet, young arriving from Lebanon with messages and indoctrinated, t-shirts and wearing clothes with messages in support of Hezbollah. There is a growing influence and presence of these groups in government.
