Islam in Puerto Rico: In 2007, Islam had over 5,000 Muslims in Puerto Rico, representing about 0.10% of the population. The early Muslim community largely consisted of Palestinians who arrived between 1958 and 1962. At the time, the vast majority of Puerto Rico's Muslims lived in Caguas – a crowded suburb of San Juan – where they operated restaurants, jewelry stores and clothing outlets. For years a storefront mosque on Calle Padre Colón served the entire community. Today there are mosques and Islamic Centers in Aguadilla, San Juan, Hatillo, Ponce, Arecibo, and Río Piedras. The American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA) also has an office in Cayey. An iconic representative of Islam in the island has been Khaled Alkhatib, born in Caguas and raised by islamic parents, he has dedicated his life to spread his word.
