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.

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
Dear Omur:
Did you know where "Allah" came from? he was originally a pagan moon diety whom Mohommad took over and proclaimed the Superme God. The Hajj was originally a pagan ritual too. As was fasting for a month during daylight hours. And the five times-a-day pray-facting-mecca ritual.
your friend,
Grace
Dear Grace,
I didn't know that! I'm a wee bit into that pagan stuff. So, can you tell me which pagan belief it is?
I think that there is a good possibility of that being true because every religion is aiming more or less the same thing. Peace, friendship etc.
Best wishes from your friend,
Onur
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.
Pray for Muslims in Asia:
* for Christian workers for Muslims in Asia
* for Muslim leaders to come to Christ
* for visions, dreams, and reveltions of Jesus
* for the nuerous Muslim villages to be reached for Christ
* for strong local churches among the Muslims in Asia
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. http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/viewarticles.php?editorialid=181.
Islamic refutation of Morey's malevolent mania > http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Sources/Allah/moongod.html
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.
THE MESSAGE TO ALL MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS:-
THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH. AND ALLAH HAS NO IMAGE.
THE TRUTH IS WE CANNOT BE THE IMAGE OF GOD IN ANY CASE, HE IS GREATER AND ABOVE THEN OUR IMAGINATION.
HUMAN MIND IS NOT CAPABLE TO THINK WHAT HE CAN BE OR WHAT HE CANNOT BE.
OUR GOD HAS NO IMAGE.
OUR GOD IS GOD OF ALL UNIVERSE AND ALL THAT HE CREATES
GOD IS UNCREATED THE CREATED THINGS IS NOT GOD
BELIVEVE IT OR NOT
SURELY UNBELIEVERS WILL REJECT IT AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE THEY WILL NOT REJECT
