Top 10 Largest
National Muslim Populations

Note:
China should clearly be included among the top 10 largest national Muslim communities, although it was not on the list in Russell Ash’s book, which is the main source of information for this list. Reliable religious statistics are difficult to obtain from this Communist nation, and the actual number of Muslims in China may be greater than the figure presented above. Mojtaba Shabani wrote to Adherents.com with the following comments:

The Muslim population in China is 11% by Muslim sources. This is based on the fact the
ethnic “Hui” group are predominantly Muslim, and 9% of the population belong to this group. And then there are Uigurs and other Turkic people in addition to that, mostly in northwestern China, who constitute the remaining 2%… 11% would be around 120 million.
