The Shi'ite-Sufi Order of Brazil

Everheard of the maroon people? It has happened before

There are maroons (quilombolas in Portuguese) in Brazil (and pretty much everywhere where there was slavery), not very much in the Amazon region, though, as we have at least 1,000 km between the Amazon and the main plantation areas. You could at least check wikipedia to know a thing or two about simple geography. It's mildly offensive to Brazilians to claim that most of Brazil is just a big jungle, but I won't take any offense.

? many of the black slaves where already muslim

Imagine how hard it is to keep some sort of organized religion when you don't even have the power over your own workforce. Beliefs simply syncretize and eventually lose their original meaning.

Oops I am sincerely sorry I am extremely ignorant South American physical geography . I am saying if some sort of Sufi missionary stays with them maybe they can maintain
 
Or maybe in the late 1700's have a very influential Bolivar like nationalist convert to Islam. Maybe 5-10% of the population would accept his religion? But of course we need a much more oppressive Portugal to the point of absolute hate of their monarchy and Brazil doesn't start with monarchy
 
I would suggest if we saw this kind of religious development, we would have to remove the Portuguese power to make it survive. So what if this order establish itself and the Dutch conquer Brazil and ally with this order to keep control over Brazil?

Maybe

I was thinking them to preserve their order in maroon like villages and attacking with guerrilla warfare. Maybe if this can continue long enough they can ally the dutch as long as they allow their religious freedoms
