Exploring Why Many Muslim Converts Are Coming From The Latino Community

A documentary series called Minority Reports on Vice.com explores communities of underrepresented individuals in unexpected places. The second episode of the new season explores why the largest number of Muslim converts are coming from the Latino community.

Host Lee Adams recently traveled to Houston, which is home to America’s first Islamic Spanish center — the organization IslamInSpanish — in order to examine why this is the case.
