Do you know where the largest Muslim population is? Many think that Arabs make us the largest Muslim population. Well that is not correct, in fact, the majority of Muslims are from Indonesia and are not Arabs. Therefore, the majority of Muslims are Asian. Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Maylaysia, and Bangladesh are the countries with the largest Muslim population in Asia and Asia-Pacific
The Pew Research’s worldwide estimate of Muslims during 2013 included:
986 million Muslims living in Asia-Pacific,
317 million in the Middle East and North Africa,
248 million in sub-Saharan Africa,
43.5 million in Europe,
3.5 million in North America, and
0.84 million in Latin America & the Caribbean
Muslims represent the second largest religion at 22% of the world’s population, only behind Christianity at 33%. According to Pew Research, the number of Muslims is growing about 2.9% per year, worldwide. This is faster than the total world population itself which is increasing by about 2.3% annually. Islam is thus attracting a progressively larger percentage of the world’s population, and appears to be the fastest growing major religion in the world. If these rates continue, Islam will become the largest religion in the world by the middle of this century.
