Percentage of Muslims in china has been correctly taken
from Mr.Ramzan, an old boy of AMU and a Tibetan Muslim journalist
Percentage of Muslims in India has been correctly taken
from the ex- chief editor of Qaumi Awaz, the first national urdu daily in india
The number of the total population has been taken from
The CIA World's Facts Book which can be found at: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook
But since it lacks the percentage of Muslims in each
country, we used another statistic located at: http://www.flash.net/~royal/country.html
In 1986, the Muslim Education Trust organization (MET)
located in the United Kingdom and directed by Ghulam Sarwar, obtained the 1971
census and information given by Embassies of the respective countries in
London. The 1971 census showed the Independent Muslim countries population was
around 784.5 Million and the Muslim Minorities countries had around 308 Million
Muslim.
Britannica
Encyclopaedia for 1994 and for 1995 was used to get the growth
rates. It took those statistics from the U.N.
The final numbers were obtained by plugging in the percentage of Muslims (taken from MET) and the number of people (taken from CIA) in each country using Microsoft Excel.

Among every four humans in the world, one
of them is Muslim. Muslims have increased by over 235 percent in the last fifty
years up to nearly 1.6 billion. By comparison, Christians have increased by
only 47 percent, Hinduism, 117 percent, and Buddhism by 63 percent. Islam is
the second largest religious group in France, Great Britain and USA (Muslims in
USA are 10 millions and Jews are 6 millions).
The number of the total population has been taken from The CIA World's Facts
