The opening as it read in 2010

Official data estimates in the 2008 census show that there are 25,000 Muslims in Mexico ,* [1] representing 0.02% of the total population. In recent years, conversions to Islam may have increased this number by between 1,500 and 3,000 people.¹ There is very little information about the origins of Islam in Mexico , but most sources claim it arrived with either Lebanese or Syrian immigrants and some other Middle Easterners like Egyptians , Iranians , and Turks .² Although the Muslim community in Mexico is quite small, the panorama is already showing considerable diversity: there are roughly equal numbers of Muslims of foreign origin and indigenous Mexican converts to be found praying in the main centres of worship. Today, most Mexican Islamic organizations focus on grassroot missionary activities which are most effective at the community level. The Centro Cultural Islámico de México (CCIM), a Sunni organization headed by Omar Weston, a British born Mexican convert to Islam, has been active in several big cities in northern and central Mexico. In the state of Morelos , the CCIM built a prayer hall and centre for recreation, learning and conferences, called Dar as Salaam, which also operates Hotel Oasis, a hotel that offers halal holidays for Muslim travellers and accommodation for non-Muslims sympathetic to Islam. This group was the subject of a study carried out by British anthropologist Mark Lindley-Highfield of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen . Apart from CCIM there is a branch of the Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order in Mexico City which is often at odds with the traditionalist Muslim community and is headed by two women, Shaykha Fariha and Shaykha Amina. There is also a small Salafi organization (the Centro Salafi de México) led by Muhammad Abdullah Ruiz (a former deputee to Weston) and an educational centre managed mainly by Muslims from Egypt and the Middle East, el Centro Educativo de la Comunidad Musulmana en México, within the capital city.
