No. There are many more Asian Muslims than Arab Muslims. Indonesia, for example, is the most populous Muslim country in the world. We associate Islam with the Arabs because the prophet Mohammed was an Arab and because the Arabs are the ones who in the name of converting people to Islam conquered lands from modern day China to Spain (60% of the Old World land mass).
Only 20-25% of Muslims are ethnically Arab.

∙ 7y agoNO. Roughly 20% of the world's Muslims are Arabs. The largest percentage of Muslims are actually South Asians, constituting roughly 30% of the world's Muslim population. However, Arabs are usually more strongly associated with Islam since (1) almost all Islamic holy texts and their exegesis are exclusively in Arabic, (2) Islam comes out of Arabia, and (3) the Arab population is most "densely" Muslim, which is to say that over 90% of Arabs are Muslims and no other large population can claim to be so thoroughly converted to Islam.
