There should be MORE Muslim winners

considering the stats on worldwide population by religion, wouldn't you expect MORE Muslims to win beauty pageants? For example, here are stats from Wholesome Worlds, Worldwide Missions (note that there are five subdivisions following the totals for Christians). At this rate there should be MORE than 10 beauty pageant winners of Muslim descent for every 20 Christian winners:
