World's Muslim Population in 2011
Islam has started in Asia which explains why most Muslims reside in this continent.
Accordingly, the results of this paper reveal that the percentage of Muslims in Asia is 27.5%
with a total Muslim population of one billion and 148 million, which constitutes 69.4% of the
World Muslim population. While Asia has the largest number of Muslims among other
continents, it is second to Africa in terms of the percentage of Muslims with respect to the
total population in the continent. Accordingly, the percentage of Muslims in Africa is 43.3%
with a total Muslim population of 447 million, which constitutes 27.0% of the World Muslim
population. Europe, on the other hand, has 2.9% of the World Muslim population, or 49
million Muslims, constituting 6.6% of its total population. However, Muslims are still well
underrepresented in number and percentage in the Americas and Oceania.
