About the Founder & President
Mohamed Mansour holds a Doctorate in Islamic Legislation and Jurisprudence from Al-Azhar University in Egypt, as well as a Master’s degree in Business, Economics, and Law. He is the founder and president of the Mexican Islamic Council and an active promoter of Islam in Mexico and Latin America.
Dr. Mansour’s vision of sharing a message of peace and interfaith tolerance has led him to travel across Latin America with the firm purpose of fostering and consolidating new Islamic communities. During his travels, he gained a multicultural perspective in non-Muslim countries, broadening his understanding of the needs within communities of Muslim converts. This enabled him to develop various educational programs and foster better interfaith coexistence.
