Mexico has a religious minority of Muslims, mostly constituted by converts[1], and Mexicans of African, Asian, European, and South American origin, as well as their children, born in Mexico.
Mexico is a predominantly Christian country, with adherents of Islam representing a very small minority. But they are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country [2] due to the secular nature of the state, established by Mexico's constitution.
According to the 2010 INEGI census, there were only about 2,500 individuals who identified Islam as their religion[3]. And the number of Muslims in Mexico had risen to more than 7,500 as of 2020[4][5].
Muhammad Ruiz Al Meksiki, general director of the Salafi Center of Mexico (CSM), estimates that in 2015, there are about 10,000 Muslims in Mexico.[6]
