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), had estimated that in 2015, there were about 10,000 Muslims in Mexico and has been rapidly growing after due to excessive waves of mass immigration from African, Arab and South Asian countries with a minority of Eurasian and European countries.[6]
