I'm looking for credible statistics on the Muslim population post 2000. Specifically, world muslim population, percentage of muslim population growth compared with World population growth, percentage of muslim population that are women and any statistics on muslim convert population. I've found some statistics on population and population growth from (http://muslim-canada.org/muslimstats.html) but I have been unable to find numbers of people converting to Islam, the percentage of those converting that are women, and whether those numbers have increased or decreased since 9.11. |

Five years is too short an interval to obtain reliable figures on such a complex matter. Any population statistics of this sort would normally be gathered from national censuses, which are generally held only every 10 years or so - or not at all in many countries. In particular, for stats on conversions to (and from?) religions, you would almost certainly be reliant on religious organisations (like the website you cite), which might well have agendas of their own. |

The most comprehensive site I know that publishes statitistics of all religions and some comparative numbers as well is http://www.adherents.com/index.html There is a lot of information, here, but as the previous commentor stated, most of it won't be within the past 5 years, simply because it hasn't been published or collected as yet. |

Today, Islam is the second-largest religion on earth. According to various sources, just over a fifth of the world's population is Muslim. Only Christianity is larger, comprising 33 percent of the population. But Islam is by far the fastest-growing religion on the planet, with a growth rate estimated at 2.8%-2.9% per year.
