According to the Pew Forum study dated Oct 2009:

If the question asking about which region is having the highest Muslim population, then it is Asia-Pacific. If asking about the the country with highest Muslim population, then it Indonesia.

The details as follow:

  • While Muslims are found on all five inhabited continents, more than 60% of the global Muslim population is in Asia and about 20% is in the Middle East and North Africa
  • Muslims living in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes 61 countries and territories, constitute 62% of all Muslims worldwide.

    The six Asian countries with the largest Muslim populations are: Indonesia (203 million), Pakistan (174 million), India (161 million), Bangladesh (145 million), Iran (74 million) and Turkey (74 million). Together these six countries are home to about 85% of Asia's Muslim population and more than half (53%) of the global Muslim population.

  • The Middle East-North Africa region, which includes 20 countries and territories, is home to an estimated 315 million Muslims, or about 20% of the world's Muslim population. Of these, the country with highest Muslim population is Egypt. Approximately 79 million live in Egypt, meaning that about one-in-four (25%) Muslims in the region live in Egypt.
