1.8% of people in China are Muslim and yet they account for over 23 million people. It's insane how many people there are in China.

Atleast the population growth in these to countries has redused. I don't think any of thoes two will pass 1.5 Billion. It is very insteresting to learn and talk about population and religion. Watch Hans Rosling on Ted Talk (you can find videos on YouTube)

China is probably being reduced because they have laws saying you can't have more than two kids per married couple. As well as they kill the 2nd born girl once they're born.

Lots of wrong comments here lol. India's population is still exploding, and will pass China in the very near future. They will almost certainly pass 1.5 billion people, baring some catastrophic event.

As for China, they just passed a law allowing couples to have 3 children now as of May 2021.

Got 100% on my first try! With Uzbekistan being the least guessed country, I'm guessing people started typing a few of the -stans (not Afghanistan or Pakistan) and then decided that none of the others had it. On another note: There would be much different results if this quiz was the highest percentage of Muslims.

Southeast Asia, next to Indonesia. The Wikipedia article Islam in Malaysia with numbers from 2013, tells us are there approximately 19.5 million Muslin adherents. Malaysia probably should be added to this quiz unless their number of muslims has somehow steeply declined in 5 years.

Check the total population, and you will see what is what. Muslim includes the Shi'a, the Alevis, the Bektasis, the Sunnis, etc. etc. etc. There are also Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Jews, but when you consider the overall population, and figure those numbers in you'll see.

There are very few Christians and Jews left, but there are way more than 0.8 % atheists in Turkey, so it depends on your source and methodology.

It's tricky. 99.8% of people in Turkey are registered Muslims. Only 0.2% belong Christianity or another religion. However, up to 10% of people may be irreligious.

According to Wikipedia there is 30.1 million Uzbeks, and 88% of them are Muslim. So there is 26.7 million Uzbek Muslims. Still enough to be on the list though.
