Muslims in Venezuela!Reader comment on item: Why Turkey supports Venezuela's socialist dictatorship Submitted by dhimmi no more, Feb 9, 2019 at 12:22 Dr Pipes, Erdogan's support of Maduro is very strange indeed. How about the Muslim community in Venezuela (around 100,000 mostly Lebanese)? could this be a case of Erdogan supporting other members of the Muslim Umma that happen to live in Venezuela? However, I suspect that most Lebanese Muslims would be traders and businessmen who would not be on friendly terms with the socialist Maduro! Any comments?
