Islam in Africa

Unfortunately, there are no fully reliable statistics on Islam in Africa. It seems that the African Christian Population is about 489 million people (47% of the African population), followed closely by Muslims with 422 million (40%), and the African Traditional Religions (10%). In any case, these data must be taken with caution.

1. Furthermore, an African can follow simultaneously African Traditional Religions and Islam (or Christianity)
2. Most African Muslims are Sunni

As shown below, there are twenty-two African Countries that Islam represents 50% or more of the population:

Country (% Population)
1. Somalia 100%
2. Mauritania 100%
3. The Western Sahara 100%
