Commonwealth of Independent States, Islam


For what states, I use:

For how many in each state, I use:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country

Armenia
1,038
 Kazakhstan
13,158,672
 Russia
14,000,000 – 16,000,000
 
Azerbaijan
10,073,758
 Kyrgyzstan
5,200,000 – 5,850,000
 Tajikistan
9,253,000
 
Belarus
45,000 – 100,000
 Moldova
15,000
 Uzbekistan
29,920,000


Higher Estimate
1,038 + 10,073,758 + 100,000 + 13,158,672 + 5,850,000 + 15,000 + 16,000,000 + 9,253,000 + 29,920,000 = 84,371,468
 Lower Estimate
1,038 + 10,073,758 + 45,000 + 13,158,672 + 5,200,000 + 15,000 + 14,000,000 + 9,253,000 + 29,920,000 = 81,666,468


This is comparable to between Egypt (85,000,000 – 90,000,000) and Turkey (78,000,000 – 84,400,000).

But there is more, the Commonwealth of independent states has also an Associate Member, Turkmenistan. 5,610,000 is just between Mozambique and Kenya.

Higher Estimate
5,610,000 + 84,371,468 = 89,981,468
 Lower Estimate
5,610,000 + 81,666,468 = 87,276,468


This is now comparable to Egypt, more than Turkey./HGL
