World Muslim Population
A new study found that about 23% of the world's population is Muslim.
According to the study, "Mapping the Global Muslim Population," by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, there are 1.57 billion Muslims around the world, representing nearly one out of every four humans. The countries with the highest number of Muslims are:
1) Indonesia (203 million)
2) Pakistan (174 million)
3) India (161 million)
4) Bangladesh (145 million)
5) Egypt (78.5 million)
6) Nigeria (78 million)
7) Iran (73.77 million)
8) Turkey (73.6 million)
9) Algeria (34.2 million)
10) Morocco (32 million)
Update: Many have posted suggesting that Saudi Arabia should be on the above list. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia is only home to 25 million Muslims so it doesn't even make the top ten. In fact, even Ethiopia (28 million) is home to more Muslims than Saudi Arabia. Also, for those who have questions about the data, please just follow the link above to the study itself.
