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, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have the world’s highest Muslim populations. Islam spread to South Central and East Asia mostly through merchants and mystical Sufis.
As you can see on the right, we have several categories to include all Asian countries. We also have subcategories for India and Indonesia.

Please do not believe in things about Islam like, women are not allowed to live as free as men - the real thing is that women are even freer than men in a way because men has to protect women like a bodyguard in terms of strength, so that nothing happens to women that women don’t want them to happen to.
Or that Muslims can’t ever drink alcohol. It’s just said “Even the littlest amount of alcohol drunk is harmful for you.” So, you can drink as much as you think your body isn’t harmed and you won’t harm anyone and your relationships with anybody.
Or that Muslims fear of God. It’s said “You can’t imagine how merciful God is. He will forgive everything if you beg for his forgiveness. But He won’t forgive if you equalize Him with a thing he had created.”
I had once read Koran, and I couldn’t believe how differently I interpreted It than my preconception. I asked it my Muslim friends and they told me that they said there were 7 main, and millions of minor ways to interpret It, and it always turned out that people understand things that they need to build into their lives, out of the Koran. Interesting…
Now, I have a weird respect to the Koran, and It stands next to the Holly Bible in my house.
I think we should have a closer look inside their world through different glasses. This could prevent stupid wars at the very last. Everyone with an injured psyche can become a terrorist. A remarkable point is that while we were fighting in Europe in the Middle Age, Muslims were studying and developing science and philosophy in peace.
A good start point for this mental change would be visiting Istanbul where the majority Muslim is, and where cultures meet.
Finally, I want to advise you that you trust people as much as they trust you. So, you won’t be disappointed because of the bad behaviors of some mad, psychologically sick people.
Thank you
