Population of Muslims around the World

Population of Muslims around the World





Important NOTES:

Many current sources estimate the total world muslim population to be around 1.2 billion.
No one authentic data source of the population of Muslims exists, therefore I have tried only to gather data from sources that are well known, in the following order:
cia = CIA World Factbook Website http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/
library = Library of Congress Country Studies http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cshome.html
census = U.S. Census Bureau - International Data Base (IDB) http://www.census.gov/ftp/pub/ipc/www/idbnew.html
islamicweb = Islamic Web http://websolution.net/islamicweb/population.htm
brittanica = 1997 Britannica Book of the Year.
riseap = Muslim Almanac - Asia Pacific, by RISEAP.
gov't = Official Government Statistics Website
islamicweb = Islamic Web. http://websolution.net/islamicweb/population.htm
unknown = Books, missionary websites, etc.
The percentage was taken from the source and applied to the estimated population in 1998 to attain the number of Muslims.
