The largest and most populous continent or region is Asia. It covers 8.6% of the Earth’s total surface area, or 29.4% of its land area, and it contains more than 60% of the world’s population.
Most of the world’s Muslims live in Asia. After Indonesia (240,271,522 | 86.1% Muslim), India (1,156,897,766 | 13.4% Muslim), Pakistan (174,578,558 | 95% Muslim) and Bangladesh (156,050,883 | 83% Muslim) have the world’s highest Muslim populations. Islam spread to South Central and East Asia mostly through merchants and mystical Sufis.
We have several categories to include all Asian countries including Central Asia and the Caucasus, East Asia and South Central Asia. We also have subcategories for India and Indonesia.

The word allah means al-the ilah-god it is an arabic word for god this word was used in preislamic days for god even for idols but in quran this word has been used for god who is the creator and cherisher of this universe there is not a single verse in quran which says allah as moon this is a false allegation instead there are so many verses in quran which says allah is the creator of moon & the sun.
Oh yes, still peddling that rotten old chestnut, Morey’s “Moon God” Myth.
Sorry, but the Christian proponent of that isn’t exactly a reputable human being! It is not just Muslims saying that BUT EVEN his fellow Christians e.g.

As for the meaning of words, in order to communicate effectively & accurately, without misleading laziness, we must refer to the highest standards of reference. With regard to the English language, we must refer to the O.E.D. ( Oxford English Dictionary ). According to the Bible of the English language i.e. O.E.D. Islam is NOT a pagan religion, ipso facto. All other arguments in English are semantic gymnastics.
That is why, it is not even worth really going into the pagan corruption of Paul’s Trinitarian Christinaity as it spread into Europe.
The peoples says muslims have growing because of birth rate i ask them a question if muslim growing by birth rate in germany they r not germans? in france the muslims not belong to france ?peoples in whole europe u will see europe will became muslims continent in 50 yrs but no one stop it because european christian peoples dont have faith in christainity the peoples of europe agree that there are more errors in bibles they have no answer of that errors thats why people converting to islam because they see the truth in islam . In 2006 in spain more than 3 lakh peoples convert to islam, in africa continet counry like tanzania more than 50% are muslims because of converts, see the difference before all non-muslims comments.
