For some reason most folks think that Muslims look like Arabs.

Besides the nordic looking ones from the Kosovo area, there are a lot of Asian Muslims. The Muslim nation with the largest popular is Asian.

I believe that would be Indonesia.

The Islamic Society of America, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, is located about 10 miles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the site this Sunday of the Indianapolis 500, the largest outdoor sporting event in the world.

I worry about this every year. Security for the event is very intense, but I also know how many vendors and volunteers are on the field, not to mention campers, people with lunches, etc. They search all packages but it seems to me that there is a large opportunity for mayhem there.

India 12% Muslim, but this is roughly 100 million, the largest number of Muslims in any country, with the exception of Indonesia, which has a Muslim population of about 160 million.

Religion by groups in percentage......

Christianity: 2 billion -- Islam: 1.3 billion
Hinduism: 900 million -- Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 850 million
Buddhism: 360 million -- Chinese traditional religion: 225 million
primal-indigenous: 150 million -- African Traditional & Diasporic: 95 million
Sikhism: 23 million -- Juche: 19 million
