Mexico
As in other Latin American countries, no detailed information on the history of Islam in Mexico is available. Although it is assumed that there were Muslims brought to the continent from Africa as part of the slave trade during the Spanish colonial period, these traces were wiped out by Spain's mass killings in South America as a continuation of its genocides in Andalusia.
Today, there is a Muslim community in the country, some local and some foreigners from the Middle East and Africa, mainly from Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. While the total number of Muslims in the country is not known precisely, it is estimated to be around 10,000. With the increasing interest in Islam in Latin America in recent years, there have been large increases in the proportional Muslim presence in the country. However, reasons such as the lack of an Islamic tradition in the region, geographical distance from the countries where the majority of the world's Muslims live, and the extremely limited availability of religious publications in native languages are some of the most important issues for the Muslims in the region.
