Five Most Islamic Countries by Continent

No, but it's hard to compete with numbers such as 98.8%, (the lowest percentage of Muslims included for Asia). I believe immigration to Saudi Arabia probably lowered the overall Islamic population in relation to other religions, as immigrants coming from India, Nepal, etc. are predominately Hindu.

Too many immigrants for Saudi Arabia to compete with countries such as Jordan.

Just looked it up. While all Saudi Citizens are Muslim by law, this isn't necessarily true. Also, a great number of people in Saudi Arabia are not citizens and practice other religions.

It's by the percentage of the country that follows Islam, not the number of people. Islam is not a popular religion in Oceania, and so Tuvalu, a very small country with 50 Muslims, still made the list. On the other hand, the United States is a very large country and has a somewhat large Muslim population, but the percentage of Muslims is still smaller than, say, Canada.

I have some doubt that Iraq is 99% Muslim. Maybe the government changed the statistics? Maybe the collector of this data made a mistake because of the political situation? I cannot say for sure, but it is impossible for a quiz like this to be 100% accurate.

Fixed. There have been a few name changes in the world so it may take some time to update all my quizzes.

Yes it does! I've edited the quiz now, thank you :)

Yemen is 97.2% Muslim according to the source but I believe this was a mistake.

This is likely due to higher rates of immigration to Canada versus the US in the past two decades. Canada's immigration rate has been on average more than twice as high than the US' in the 21st Century, for each year. It's interesting, because Islam was historically better established in the US than Canada during the 20th Century due to the large numbers of African-American converts to Islam (today around 25% of American Muslims are from this background).

Good point/question. What is important to remember is that the numbers on this quiz reflect the official census, which in theory should try to capture reality. In the case of the Maldives, the census shows that 100% of the Maldives are Maldivians, for example, when there are thousands of foreign workers who are not being counted. Likewise, unofficial studies show that around 0.3 or 0.4% of Maldivians are Christians, although the census recorded 100% of the population being Muslims (remember in a pretend scenario where one or two or ten people aren't Muslim, it still rounds up to 100%).

Thanks for playing :)
