Welcome to the message board amnay!
You're right. I've noticed that there isn't really any true census data to back up the claims of the number of muslims in the world. The more I've learned about Islam, and the nations it's most numerous in, the more I've seen that Islam is not some megalithic thing but rather a label that gets applied across quite a range of actual beliefs (many that would not be considered real Islam, but more animism-Islam mix) and I believe that there are many people who are labled muslim simply because of the geographic location but as the people you mention are simply within an area labeled "Islamic".
In one respect, Islam does itself a grave diservice with their policy of threatening to murder anyone who leaves Islam. That's because there are millions who leave, but do so secretly in fear...so the Islamic leadership has no real awareness of their own failings and membership losses.

Hello Risen!
Thanks for the nice words.
I'm totaly agree with your reasoning.
In fact, The Muslim Politicians all over the world lie about "the ethnic components" of their population in order to t make belileve (or make pretence) that there are several moslems in the world, for example" A DETERRENT POWER" if I can say that. For them that symbolizes a kind of "power" or pride against the other religions.
They often repeat that so as not to be made forget and say to others : "We are always here , you must look at us" , ''You should'nt forget that we reprezent the second world religion". Their goal were and is always the same:They want spread their "religion" all over the world and "Make arabs" all that moves.
But , in fact, The authorities of the moslem countries(as they say) do not want reveal figures because they are afraid to see the TRUTH.
When you saw that "their policy of threatening to murder anyone who leaves Islam" , It's truth. I confirm. kABYLIA That were Agnostic throughouts its history suffered from the quarrelsome and bitter Arabs. Their goal was (and always be) the Islamization of our population.
Unfortunately the occident continues to scorn us and to treat us "Moslems" ,That is UNACCEPTABLE.
High hopes.
