Santo Domingo.- More than 1,000 people attended the event “Islam: A Threat to the Church and to the Dominican Republic?” held at Mahanaim Miraflores Church and organized by the Trinitarios movement. The gathering focused on religious and cultural topics and was promoted as a forum for public discussion.
