Yeah, techinically it is ... but most people don't call it that. South America could be termed "Large continent inbetween the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean", it'd just take all the Brazilian, Argentinian, etc people a lil bit longer to find it

Lol. Random. But funny. I was going to ask what the "Other" category was for. Until now, I was thinking "Antartica?".. you're from that background then.

I was born in India and lived till the age of 18. But since the last 4 years residing in Ukraine.I wish I never settle back in india because the muslims are so much oppressed by the government.Also so much of Fitnah,shirk going on without people thinking about it.The so called muslims in the the Indian SUb COntinent have got modernised...(although I am not generalizing the whole bunch of muslims)
But Insha Allah I wish to help and work for the muslims out there as well as world over Insha Allah Taala.
FIRST AND THE LAST THING FOR ME ...... I AM A MUSLIM ....IT DOESNT MATTER WHERE I LIVE OR WHERE I AM FROM BUT I AM A SLAVE OF ALLAH. I THINK ABOUT MY UMMAH, THE UMMAH OF TAWHEED

Global Muslim Demographics
Asslamo Allaikum,
First of all let me start out by saying that I am a Pakistani [South-Asian roughly 30% of the Muslims in the world live here), Non-Arab (roughly 80% of the Muslims in the world), Sunni (roughly 85% of the Muslims of the world are Sunnees) but that is simply my identity (& origin) and I hope to acquire Taqwa (Fear of Allah) so I can get closer to Allah (SWT) because the best in the eyes of Allah (SWT) are the ones with Taqwa and Nationality, colour, sex & origin are not of importance in Islam in fact it is HARAM (forbidden) to be proud of any of these.
I make dua that Allah (SWT) grants me & all of us Taqwa (Ameen) and abstain from racism, Nationalism which is discarded in Islam as follows:
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allâh's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allâh makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided."
Q.3:105
"And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment."
Q.6:159
"Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammad SAW) have no concern in them in the least. Their affair is only with Allâh, Who then will tell them what they used to do."
Q.23:52:
"And verily this Ummah of yours IS A SINGLE UMMAH and I am your Lord and Cherisher: Therefore Fear Me (and no other)."
Q.23:53:
Now to the point…
It appears that the poll is gradually getting closer to what the Muslim population demographics are in the world, so I will Insha’Allah attempt to summarise it:
Total Muslim Population: 1.6 Billion (far higher then 1.2 or 1.3 billion as generally portrayed in the Media
Source: http://www.islamicpopulation.com/
Estimated growth in Muslim Population:In 2000 there were roughly 29.9% Christians in the world & 19.2% Muslim, the projected growth puts the Muslims at 30% and Christians at 25% in 2025.
Source: http://muslim-canada.org/muslimstats.html
Sunni/Shia distribution: The overwhelming majority of Muslims in the world are Sunni approximately 85%. Shias make up the rest, about 15% of overall Muslim population. Among the countries with Shi'a majority of Muslim population are Iraq (66%), Bahrain (70%), Lebanon (50%), Iran (90%), and Azerbaijan (80%).
