Map: Muslim Population — World, Region, Country

Just a quick post this morning. Someone pointed me to an interesting map that I wanted to pass on. It's from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, a project of the Pew Research Center. The map is titled World Muslim Population Report. You can select a map of the whole world or of individual regions to see the total Muslim population of a region or an individual country, the percentage of the population of that geographic entity that is Muslim, and the percentage of the world Muslim population represented by that entity's Muslims.

Sub-Saharan Africa is 29.6% Muslim with 242,544,000 Muslims, representing 15% of the world's Muslims. Tanzania is about average in Sub-Saharan Africa with Muslims making up 29.9% of its population.

Perhaps it's quite obvious why this is important for this blog, but I hate to assume. That's 242,544,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa who are trying to please Allah with their works but who are missing the mark — who are falling short of the glory of God — because they have rejected Jesus as God's promised Saviour.
  • Will any of those 242,544,000 Muslims hear about Jesus from me or you or see Him in my life or yours today?
For the Kingdom,
