Seems like somebody would look into his connections to the “famous” folks in Palestine with the same last name.
China is home to a large population of adherents of Islam. According to the CIA World Factbook, about 1%-2% of the total population in China are Muslims,[3] while the US Department of State's International Religious Freedom Report shows that Muslims constitute about 1.5% (or a population of 19,594,707) of the Chinese population.[4] The various censuses asserted that there may be up to 20 million Muslims in China.[5]
The BBC's Religion and Ethics webpage gives a range of 20 million to 100 million Muslims in China;[6] the figure of 100 million is based on a 1938 statistical yearbook placing the number of Muslims at 50 million, as well as census data from the 1940s, which showed roughly 48 million Muslims.[7] Demographers at the University of Michigan contend in contrast that the only way the Muslim population of China could be substantially higher than the officially counted 20.3 million in the 2000 census is if there were a very large hidden or uncounted number of Muslims in China; but a large undercount of Muslims has not been documented and remains speculative.[8][9]
20 million Muslims in China. Them's a lotta Muslims.
