One in four is Muslim, study says

Muslims offer prayers at London's Central Mosque

A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world - with 60% in Asia. The report, by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, took three years to compile, with census data from 232 countries and territories.
It showed that 20% of Muslims lived in the Middle East and North Africa.
The data also showed that there were more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon, and more in Russia than in Jordan and Libya together.
Surprise
Researchers analysed approximately 1,500 sources including census reports, demographic studies and general population surveys.
Senior researcher Brian Grim told CNN that the overall figure was a surprise and said: "Overall, the number is higher than I expected."

MUSLIM POPULATION BY REGION
Asia and the Pacific: 61.9%
Middle East - North Africa: 20.1%
Sub-Saharan Africa: 15.3%
Europe: 2.4%
Americas: 0.3%

The report, published on Wednesday, also found that Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.
Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University, told the AP news agency: "This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report."
Instead the report found that more than 300 million Muslims live in countries where Islam was not the majority religion.
Of the total Muslim population, 10-13% are Shia Muslims and 87-90% are Sunni Muslims.
Most Shias live in Iran, Pakistan, India and Iraq.

Europe is home to 38 million Muslims - around 5% of its population with European Muslims making up slightly more than 2% of the world's Muslim population.
More than half of the 4.6 million Muslims in the Americas live in the US - however they make up just 0.8% of the population there.
The Pew Forum has said the findings will lay the foundation for a forthcoming study that will look at how Muslim populations worldwide have grown and what they may look like in the future.
It also plans to compile figures for the other major world religions.
According to internet-based group, Adherents, there are currently 2.1 billion Christians, 900 million Hindus and 14 million Jews worldwide.

Shia kill Sunni, and visa versa. It appears the Sunni have bigger guns.

Of course this 25% has nothing to with conversions. It's just that Muslims make more babies. If you cross reference this statistic with birthrates of Muslim communities you'll see what I mean.

I can also come up with an article like this about the population explosion of rats, but that doesn't make rats special.

Why don't you check the birthrates before opening your mouth. And 20,000 converts per year in a country of 300+ million people is a joke, I'm willing to bet there are more converts to Buddhism in America than that.

But the world order is changing..th demographics are changing....its only a matter of time....

If you think world order is tied to demographics you are living in the stone age. World order is tied to technology and effective employment of man power, neither of which the islamic community is doing very well. If you don't beleive me ask yourself how the british managed to conquer and hold most of the world for 200 years.

The odds are that in 40 years time the top dogs will be India, China and America, and all three of those governments are not particularly pro-Islam.

The only thing the Muslims had going for them was oil and even that seems to be dwindling and rapidly being replaced. Also why don't you look at the median income and its standard deviation of muslims around the world. that should also tell you exactly how powerful they are. Don't delude yourself.

And they have a problem with Islam as well. Hindus will take care that Muslims are kept in check. China won't allow anybody to practice religion until 18 years of age. USA, well they are fighting against terror of Islam.

The probability is Islam nations to get massacred if they try to fiddle with these countries.

The Muslims Conquored the earth once from Turkey to India they controlled 1/3 of the earth......Germany was a superpower 50 years ago but they are not any more....no one can say wot will happen tomorrow.....
