Had this study been conducted 1000 years agoReader comment on item: How Islamic Are Muslims? Submitted by AJ (United Arab Emirates), Aug 4, 2014 at 07:03 If this study were conducted about 1000 years ago, would they arrive at the same conclusions? Muslim majority countries then were Abbasid Iraq, Spain, Fatimid Egypt, and Moghul India. I would expect these countries would have come on top, while the non-Muslim majority countries in Europe, America and even New Zealand would have most likely come at the bottom. So it is very simplistic to see this and Judge Muslims/Islam in this narrow time window. What would be the results say 50, 100 or even 1000 years from now.

That's an interesting question and I suspect you are right. Reader comments (48) on this item
