Answer 2

According to the TIME/Britannica Almanac, the ethnic composition of Israel can

be broken down as 76.2% Jewish, and 23.8% "Arab and other".

The latter category includes roughly 1.2 million Muslims.

Most of Israel's Muslim citizens live in the Galilee Mountains and in Haifa. About

20 percent live in and around Jerusalem, and 11 percent of Israel's Muslims are

Bedouin who live in the Negev.

A mystic sect, the Shazaliyeh, founded in the 19th century, has its center in Acco,

on Israel's Mediterranean coast, after its founder moved there from Tunis. Another

19th century sect, the Ahmadiyeh, which has its home in Haifa, originated in India

and believes that Islam should be disseminated by education.

Many of Israel's Muslims are said to have arrived in the country during Islam's

early days in the eighth century under the Ummayad dynasty. Others came

during the 19th and the early 20th centuries from as close as Egypt and as

far afield as the Slavic lands of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Muslims, mostly Arab citizens of Israel, constitute about 16% of the Israeli

Palestinian territories, with Muslims comprising 75% of the population of
