Muslims in Asia (1996)	1,022,692,000 (30%)
Muslims in Africa (1996)	426,282,000 (59%)
Total Number of Muslims on the Earth (1996)	1,482,596,925
Total Number of People on the Earth (1996)	5,771,939,007
Percentage of Muslims (1996)	26%
Islam annual growth rate (1994-1995) from U.N.	6.40%
Christianity growth rate (1994-1995) from U.N.	1.46%
Total Number of Muslims on the Earth (1998)	1,678,442,000
Expected Number of Muslims on the Earth (2000)	1,902,095,000

This table below shows the growth of Islam:

North America (1989-1998)	25%
Africa	2.15%
Asia	12.57%
Europe	142.35%
Latin America	-4.73%
Australia	257.01%

Among every four humans in the world, one of them is Muslim. Muslims have increased by over 235 percent in the last fifty years up to nearly 1.6 billion. By comparison, Christians have increased by only 47 percent, Hinduism, 117 percent, and Buddhism by 63 percent. Islam is the second largest religious group in France, Great Britain and USA (Muslims in USA are 10 millions and Jews are 6 millions).

The number of the total population has been taken from The CIA World's Facts Book which can be found at: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook
The CIA World's Facts Book was used it to verify the total number of population in every country. But since it lacks the percentage of Muslims in each country, we used another statistic located at: http://www.flash.net/~royal/country.html
In 1986, the Muslim Education Trust organization (MET) located in the United Kingdom and directed by Ghulam Sarwar, obtained the 1971 census and information given by Embassies of the respective countries in London. The 1971 census showed the Independent Muslim countries population was around 784.5 Million and the Muslim Minorities countries had around 308 Million Muslim.
As for the U.N., the Briticana Encyclopidia for 1994 and for 1995 was used to get the growth rates. Briticana took those statistics from the U.N.
The final numbers were obtained by plugging in the percentage of Muslims (taken from MET) and the number of people (taken from CIA) in each country using Microsoft Excel.
