Today
Since the September the 11th Attacks, there has been a minor, initial backlash against the Muslim community, as part of wider trend of suspicion towards Muslims in non-Muslim countries, although it is believed that the Muslim community as a whole, has remained well-integrated in broader Chilean society.
There are a number of organizations founded by the Muslim community in Chile, including:
- Asociación Islámica de Chile (Islamic Association of Chile)
- Centro de Cultura y Beneficencia Islámico
- Centro Chileno Islámico de Cultura de Puerto Montt

Who know exactly what is out of joint
To make their verse and their excuses lame.
They’ve tried to grasp with too much social fact
Too large a situation.”
