VICE&#8217;s Lee Adams travels to Houston Texas, the home of America&#8217;s first Islam in Spanish center, to investigate what\u2019s behind this phenomenon and how America\u2019s current political climate might be related. As a former gang leader, Jaime &#8220;Mujahid&#8221; Fletcher claims that Islam saved his life, inspiring him to found the Islam in Spanish center. He dedicated himself to translating Muslim texts for a Spanish-speaking audience. We spoke to Jaime and other recent Latino Muslim converts to find out why two of America\u2019s most discriminated groups are coming
