Islam is the predominant religion in the Middle East, in Sahel, in the Horn of Africa and northern Africa,[3][4][5][6] and in some parts of
Asia.[7] Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, and Russia.[3][8] Other parts of the world host large
Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity, where it
represents 6% of the total population.[9]
According to the Pew Research Center in 2010 there were 49 Muslim-majority countries.[10] Around 62% of the world's Muslims live
in South and Southeast Asia, with over 1 billion adherents.,[11] The largest Muslim country is Indonesiahome to 12.7% of the world's
Muslims followed by Pakistan (11.0%), India (10.9%), and Bangladesh (9.2%).[3][12] About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries.[13] In
the Middle East, the non-Arab countries of Turkey and Iran are the largest Muslim-majority countries; in
Africa, Egypt and Nigeria have the most populous Muslim communities.[3][12]
A study conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2010 and released January 2011[3][14] found that there are 1.62 billion Muslims
around the world. The study found more Muslims in the United Kingdom than in Lebanon and more in Chinathan in Syria.[3]

Britannica, (2003) ISBN 978-0-85229-956-2 p.306
According to the Encyclopdia Britannica, as of mid-2002, there were 376,453,000
Christians, 329,869,000 Muslims and 98,734,000 people who practiced traditional
religions in Africa. Ian S. Markham, (A World Religions Reader. Cambridge, MA:
Blackwell Publishers, 1996.) is cited by Morehouse University as giving the mid
1990s figure of 278,250,800 Muslims in Africa, but still as 40.8% of the total
population. These numbers are estimates, and remain a matter of conjecture. See
Amadu Jacky Kaba. The spread of Christianity and Islam in Africa: a survey and
analysis of the numbers and percentages of Christians, Muslims and those who
practice indigenous religions. The Western Journal of Black Studies, Vol 29,
Number 2, June 2005. Discusses the estimations of various almanacs and
encyclopedium, placing Britannica's estimate as the most agreed figure. Notes the
figure presented at the World Christian Encyclopedia, summarized here, as being
an outlier. On rates of growth, Islam and Pentecostal Christianity are highest,
see: The List: The Worlds Fastest-Growing Religions, Foreign Policy, May 2007.
