The percentage of Muslim population of each country was taken from the US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2004 [1] (http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/). Other sources used were CIA factbook [2] (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/) and adherents.com [3] (http://www.adherents.com/Na/Na_321.html#2058). In a few cases of conflicting estimates, the average of lowest and highest estimates was calculated. The total population of each country was taken from census.gov [4] (http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/idbrank.pl) (2005 estimates).

These percentages were calculated by using the above numbers. The first percentage, 4th column, is the percentage of population that is Muslim in a region (Muslims in the region * 100/total population of the region). The last column shows the Muslim percentage compared to the total Muslim population of the world (Muslims in the region * 100/total Muslim population of the world).

(Note: Egypt, Sudan, and the Arab Maghreb countries are counted as part of North Africa, not Middle East).
