The average for 2013 based on 27 countries was 12.7 percent. The highest value was in Turkey: 99 percent and the lowest value was in Belarus: 0 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2013. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This statistic shows the estimated Muslim share of the population in different European countries as of 2016. With a Muslim population that makes up around a quarter of it's population, Cyprus has the highest estimated share of Muslims living in its borders. The Muslim share of the Bulgarian and French populations is also quite high with 11.1 and 8.8 percent shares respectively. Portugal, Romania, Czechia and Poland have the lowest Muslim shares of the population at under one percent.

This statistic shows the estimated number of Muslims living in different European countries as of 2016. Approximately **** million Muslims were estimated to live in France, the most of any country listed. Germany and the United Kingdom also have large muslim populations with **** million and **** million respectively.

This statistic displays the projected Muslim population proportions in selected European countries in 2050, by scenario. In 2010 the proportion of Muslims in the population of Germany was *** percent, compared with *** percent in the UK and *** percent in France. Depending on the different migration scenarios estimated here, Germany's share of Muslims in the population could rise up to **** percent of it's population by 2050, higher than both the UK and France, with projected Muslim populations of **** and ** percent respectively.

The average for 2013 based on 18 countries was 4.1 percent. The highest value was in Cyprus: 18 percent and the lowest value was in the Czechia: 0 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2013. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This statistic presents the perceived proportion of Muslim citizens (out of 100) in Europe in 2018. According to data published by Ipsos, with the exception of Turkey, all the countries in this statistic overestimated the number of Muslims in their country.

The average for 2013 based on 1 countries was 11 percent. The highest value was in Bulgaria: 11 percent and the lowest value was in Bulgaria: 11 percent. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2013. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

In 2022, a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 38 percent of Muslims in selected EU countries experienced discrimination in the preceding 12 months, while half claimed to have experienced this in the past five years. In six of the countries surveyed, at least half of the Muslim population had experienced discrimination in the preceding year.

This statistic displays the projected Muslim population of Europe from 2010 to 2050, compared with that of non-Muslims. For the 2050 projections, three different scenarios are presented, one for zero migration to Europe, one for medium migration and the last for a high level of immigration. In the scenario where zero-migration occurs the total non-Muslim population of Europe would actually decrease from ****** million people to ****** million people. In the high migration scenario, Muslims are predicted to number ***** million people, in which the total non-Muslim population of Europe is ****** million.

Islam is the major religion in many African countries, especially in the north of the continent. In Comoros, Libya, Western Sahara, at least 99 percent of the population was Muslim as of 202. These were the highest percentages on the continent. However, also in many other African nations, the majority of the population was Muslim. In Egypt, for instance, Islam was the religion of 79 percent of the people. Islam and other religions in Africa Africa accounts for an important share of the world’s Muslim population. As of 2019, 16 percent of the Muslims worldwide lived in Sub-Saharan Africa, while 20 percent of them lived in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Together with Christianity, Islam is the most common religious affiliation in Africa, followed by several traditional African religions. Although to a smaller extent, numerous other religions are practiced on the continent: these include Judaism, the Baha’i Faith, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Number of Muslims worldwide Islam is one of the most widespread religions in the world. There are approximately 1.9 billion Muslims globally, with the largest Muslim communities living in the Asia-Pacific region. Specifically, Indonesia hosts the highest number of Muslims worldwide, amounting to over 200 million, followed by India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Islam is also present in Europe and America. The largest Islamic communities in Europe are in France (5.72 million), Germany (4.95 million), and the United Kingdom (4.13 million). In the United States, there is an estimated number of around 3.45 million Muslims.

Spain has a long history of Islamic tradition under its belt. From cuisine to architecture, the southern European country has been linked to the North of Africa through many common elements. At the end of 2023, there were approximately 2.41 million Muslims in Spain, most of them of Spanish and Moroccan nationality, with upwards of eight hundred thousand believers in both cases. With a Muslim population of more than 660,000 people, Catalonia was home to the largest Muslim community in Spain as of the same date.

The not so Catholic Spain

Believers of a religion other than Catholicism accounted for approximately 3 percent of the Spanish population, according to the most recent data. Although traditionally a Catholic country, Spain saw a decline in the number of believers over the past years. Compared to previous years, when the share of believers accounted for slightly over 70 percent of the Spanish population, the Catholic community lost ground, while still being the major religion for the foreseable future.

A Catholic majority, a practicing minority

Going to mass is no longer a thing in Spain, or so it would seem when looking at the latest statistics about the matter: 50 percent of those who consider themselves Catholics almost never attend any religious service in 2024. The numbers increased until 2019, from 55.5 percent of the population never attending religious services in 2011 to 63.1 percent in 2019. The share of population that stated to be practicing believers and go to mass every Sunday and on the most important holidays accounted for only 15.5 percent.

This statistic presents the age distribution of Muslims in Europe compared with that of non-Muslims as of 2016. As this statistic illustrates, 27 percent of Muslims are aged 0-14 compared with only 15 percent of non-Muslims in this age cohort. Only one percent of Muslims in Europe are over 75, contrasted with 10 percent of non-Muslims.

As of 2019, among European populist parties there is a clear right/left wing divide regarding whether supporters hold unfavorable opinions of Muslims. In the majority of cases supporters of right-wing parties were much more likely to have negative views of Muslims, such as in Germany, where ** percent of Alternative for Germany supports had an unfavorable opinion compared to ** percent of non-supporters. However, supporters of all the left-wing populist parties surveyed were less likely to hold unfavorable views. For example, ** percent of Podemos supporters in Spain had an unfavorable view of Muslims, compared to ** percent of non-supporters.

This statistic shows the share of people in select European Union countries that believed they knew something or a great deal about Islam in 2017. At the time of survey in 2017, ** percent of Austrians stated that they don't know much or anything at all about Islam.

The latest population figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on 28 June 2018 show that an estimated 534,800 people live in Bradford District – an increase of 2,300 people (0.4%) since the previous year.

Bradford District is the fifth largest metropolitan district (in terms of population) in England, after Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester although the District’s population growth is lower than other major cities.

The increase in the District’s population is largely due to “natural change”- there have been around 3,300 more births than deaths, although this has been balanced by a larger number of people leaving Bradford to live in other parts of the UK than coming to live here and a lower number of international migrants. In 2016/17 the net internal migration was -2,700 and the net international migration was 1,700.

A large proportion of Bradford’s population is dominated by the younger age groups. More than one-quarter (29%) of the District’s population is aged less than 20 and nearly seven in ten people are aged less than 50. Bradford has the highest percentage of the under 16 population in England after the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, Slough Borough Council and Luton Borough Council.

The population of Bradford is ethnically diverse. The largest proportion of the district’s population (63.9%) identifies themselves as White British. The district has the largest proportion of people of Pakistani ethnic origin (20.3%) in England.

The largest religious group in Bradford is Christian (45.9% of the population). Nearly one quarter of the population (24.7%) are Muslim. Just over one fifth of the district’s population (20.7%) stated that they had no religion.

There are 216,813 households in the Bradford district. Most households own their own home (29.3% outright and 35.7% with a mortgage). The percentage of privately rented households is 18.1%. 29.6% of households were single person households.

Information from the Annual Population Survey in December 2017 found that Bradford has 228,100 people aged 16-64 in employment. At 68% this is significantly lower than the national rate (74.9%). 91,100 (around 1 in 3 people) aged 16-64, are not in work. The claimant count rate is 2.9% which is higher than the regional and national averages.

Skill levels are improving with 26.5% of 16 to 74 year olds educated to degree level. 18% of the district’s employed residents work in retail/wholesale. The percentage of people working in manufacturing has continued to decrease from 13.4% in 2009 to 11.9% in 2016. This is still higher than the average for Great Britain (8.1%).

Discrimination against Muslims in Europe remains a significant issue, with recent data revealing that over one-third of Muslims in selected EU countries experienced discrimination in 2022. The prevalence of this problem affects both men and women, with 36 percent of male Muslims and 34 percent of female Muslims reporting discriminatory experiences in the preceding 12 months. This widespread issue highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Muslim communities across Europe. Youth and discrimination Among Muslims who reported experiencing discrimination, 40 percent were between the ages of 16 and 24. This high percentage among young Muslims suggests that discriminatory practices may disproportionately impact the younger generation, especially through online hate speech. Between October 7 and 8, there was a 422 percent increase in discriminatory posts against Muslims on X (formerly Twitter). Variations by country of origin The prevalence of discrimination varies significantly depending on the country of origin of Muslim individuals. Turkish Muslims registered higher levels of discriminations in Austria and Germany, with more than 50 percent of cases of this type of crime. At the same time, Syrian Muslims registered higher levels of discrimination in Austria and Denmark, with 61 percent and 55 percent respectively. In the case of North African Muslims, the prevalence of discrimination was highest in The Netherlands and Belgium.

In 2020, Indonesia recorded the largest population of Muslims worldwide, with around 239 million. This was followed with around 226.88 million Muslims in Pakistan and 213 million Muslims in India.

In 2022, a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 52 percent of Muslims of Turkish origin faced discrimination. Among all surveyed countries, Austria reported the highest rate, with 62 percent of respondents experiencing discrimination.

In 2022, a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that 38 percent of Muslims in selected EU countries experienced discrimination in the preceding 12 months. From the total, 40 percent of the victims had an age between 16 and 24 years old.

In 2023, a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights found that both antisemitism and anti-Muslim sentiments had increased in Europe over the past five years. According to the survey, 81 percent of respondents in selected EU countries perceived that antisemitism had increased during that period, while 59 percent said that anti-Muslim intolerance had also risen in the same timeframe.
