1.48 Billion (2005)
World population 6.5 billion - China alone equal to Moslem population.

But there would be more moslems if some hadn't died because of a fatwa against polio vaccines, and I do not understand why Saudi Arabia - for all its wealth - still has homes in Mecca without running water.

How come if Islam is so great that they are dependent on exports of a commodity the west needs? Why are Muslims not running the world and creating heaven on earth if their beliefs are true?

atleast your very own GREEN PARTY has a large Muslim constituency...perhaps they will catalyze something meaningful for Homo Sapien Sapiens surviving the imminent Anthropocene Era and the Avian flu pandemic...

Just one little thing. It's not given that god exists.
