Islam is a religion started on the Arabian peninsula by Muhammed. Islam is the largest religion in the world.

CORRECTED INFO:

Islam is the SECOND largest religion in the world, approximately half the size of Christianity.

It was started in the Mecca and Medina areas of present day Saudi Arabia in 610 when Mohammad started reciting the Qu'ran from remembered Judaism, Christianity and the local pagan religions He recited to his scribe and father-in-law who became the first caliph at Mohammad's death in 633. Thus Islam began in 610.
