History of Islam in the Gulf of Mexico
It may come as a surprise to many, but the history of Islam in the Dominican Republic began with the importation of African slaves during the DR’s colonial period. Spanish conquistadors, led by Christopher Columbus, landed on Hispaniola in 1492, and by 1502 had entered into slave trading. Historians have established that the presence of Islam was already substantial in West Africa during the 16th century, and this was where early colonizers bought most of their slaves. The Wolof Muslims from West Africa is believed to be among the first group of slaves transported to the New World. As the slave trade grew, colonizers imported a new group with its own customs and beliefs, such as Islam, to the New World. The presence of West African slaves with Muslim ties would quickly be seen as problematic. Resistance by the slaves was first recorded in 1503 when Nicolas de Ovando wrote to Spanish Queen Isabella requesting that she prohibit further shipments to the colony of people with connections to Islam. However, the demand for slaves was so strong that no one heeded the Spanish governors pleas’ to stop importing Muslims. Although these new imports to the Americas arrived with a rich and ancient culture, repression and forced conversions into Catholicism gradually diluted the original cultural, identity and religions of the remaining Muslim slave inhabitants on Hispaniola.
Wolof slaves stopped being imported from Africa in 1522 after the first large-scale slave revolt in the Americas was led by a group of Muslims. The revolt occurred on the sugar plantation of Admiral Don Diego Colon, son of Christopher Columbus. By 28 December 1522 the slaves reached the cattle ranch of Melchior de Castro, but the success of the revolt was limited. Eventually, the slaves were met by European militiamen, and the revolt was subsequently thwarted. This revolt would mark the end of Muslim importation on the island and would guarantee a diminution of the Muslim presence for years to come.

FROM WHAT I SEE ON THIS SITE ABOUT RIGHT, WRONG PRACTICERS OF ISLAM, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SIDE WITH KEEPING ITOUT IFIT WAS IN MY COMMUNITY UNTIL ADULTS STOP ACTING LIKE THIS RELIGIOUS PRACTICE IS A CALL TO WAR ON WHICH IS THE CORRECT ISLAMIC TEACHINGS, BECAUSE WHEN YOU THROWN IN ABUSE OF CHRISTIANITY AS WELL AS ABUSE OF ISLAM A COMMUNITY PUBLIC INSTUTITION HAS NO CHANCE AT ALL TO SUCCEED BEYOND BEING A WAR ZONE WITH REAL BULLETS AND BOMBS, ECT.!!!!...
IF I HAVE NOT EXPEREINCED WHAT I HAVE BEING A SITE MEMBER I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SAY SOMETING LIKE THIS AS I AM SURE MOST OF THE PUBLIC ONLY BELIEVE THESE FEELINGS AND ACTIONS ARE ONLY IN THE MIDDLE -EAST!!!...
