Isis in Mexico: Right-wing watchdog claims 'Islamic State' fighters have established a base 'eight miles from the US border'

From The Independent

American law enforcement agencies have been forced to deny reports that the Isis militant group has set up a base in northern Mexico just eight miles from the US border.

First reported by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, the claims were attributed to unnamed “Mexican authorities” and circulated by a host of right-wing media outlets.

Judicial Watch said Isis militants were working with the infamous Juarez Cartel in Anapra, Chihuahua, with a view to passing through “the porous border between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas”.

Honestly I don't know what to make of this cause the same thing was said last September yet it was a red herring. and I could only find a few links, so it's not on the major news networks yet, which is damn strange if you ask me.

Mexico is overwhelmingly Catholic and or Christian. I am not aware of very many Mexicans who are Muslims, although I suppose there may be a small number of them.

I do however find it plausible that they may have inroads with Drug Cartels, but then, I would think the two organizations would have conflicting goals, so again it seems unlikely.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Mexico

Catholicism is the dominant religion in Mexico, with about 82.7% of the population as of 2010. In recent decades the number of Catholics has been declining, due to the growth of other Christian denominations (especially various Protestant churches and Mormonism), which now constitute 9.7% of the population, and non-Christian religions. Despite this, conversion to non-Catholic denominations has been considerably slower than in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. An estimated 2 to 5 million Mexicans (~2% to ~4.5%) adhere to the veneration of Santa Muerte, and most of them see themselves as members of the Catholic Church, even though the Vatican condemns this practice.[3] Movements of return and revival of the indigenous Mesoamerican religions (Mexicayotl, Toltecayotl) have also appeared in recent decades.[4][5] Buddhism and Islam have both made limited inroads, through immigration and conversion.
