Wallid Ismail is of palesinian descent. Brasil has a history of being a sorta haven for many peoples who felt oppressed in their own homelands for various reasons. Japanese, Germans, Italians, Palestinians and many others have sought refuge there as a result of dangerous conditions in their own countries.

yeah they definitely have a huge (i think in the millions even) arab immigrant population, especially from lebanon, palestine and syria.
most of them are christian though...i was just surprised that there is an actual, relatively significant muslim population in brazil.
