Neither Columbus did discover the Americas nor Cabral, Brazil; a half of the slaves brought to the Americas might well have been Muslims; the Quilombo of Palmares followed Muslim orientation; Portugal and Spain were Muslims by 800 years until just two years before Cabral having arrived at Brazil... This, not to mention that the Protestant Reformation (whose major followers are today Latin American and non-white people) had Muslim support ... In short: the history of Brazil, of the Americas, without mentioning of Africa, is undergoing an amazing revision still not entirely known even by the Third World academia which encompasses the Muslims deeply.
