Best estimates put Islam at between 1 billion and 1.4 billion people. The most cited is 1.2 billion adherents. This makes Islam the second largest religion in the world with approximately 1 billion less followers than Christianity. However, there is considerable difficulty in ascertaining the number of Muslims and as a result most measurements are inflated. The issue of apostasy in Islam is a major factor in this discrepancy. Countries such as Pakistan, The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Islamic Republic of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Egypt disallow legal recognition of non-Islamic religions, Islamic apostates and or impose the death penalty as a punishment for apostasy. I understand one-sixth of the world's population are Muslims. However, I'm not too sure of the exact figure. The biggest concentration of Muslims are to be found in Indonesia. According to Adherents.com there are 1.5 Billion Muslims in the world today. This figure is made up of members of all sects of Islam.
