For many reasons:Spread of Islam in its early years from the Atlantic ocean to China and south east Asia.Muslims account for around one quarter of world population (23% of total world population; per Pew Forum study as of October 2009). Accordingly, it is logic to have Muslims in many countries of the world and of many nationalities.In addition, many non Muslims all over the world convert to Islam while staying in their homelands.One more reason is the migration of some Muslims in poor Muslim countries to foreign countries to have better work opportunities or research provisions.
