What percentage of Arabs are not Muslim?
JE:
No idea. What percentage of Muslims are not
Arab?
"There are an estimated 1.2 billion Muslims worldwide. They live in every
world region and belong to many different cultures and ethnic groups. The 10
countries with the largest Muslim populations, in descending order, are
Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Nigeria, and
China. Of these, only Egypt is an Arab country, and despite the stereotypes,
only 193 million of the worldâs Muslimsâ15 to 18 percent of the totalâare
Arabs. "

How many Arabs are not Muslims? 'Arab' is a speaker of Arabic, it's not a
nationality. How many speakers of English are not Christians?
There are more Muslims in Indonesia than all the rest of the world combined.
Worldwide, only 10 -15 percent of Muslims are Shiite, but in Iraq the Shiite
comprise approximately 65 percent of the population. Of the roughly 35
percent Sunni, 15 percent are sunni Arabs, 20 percent are Sunni Kurds.
You can find a break down by country of the Muslim population by number and
percentage at:

Have fun with it.
