Misspelling

In the subsection titled "Used to describe earlier prophets in the Qur'an", there is a misspelling of the word Judaism as "Judiaism" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.100.251.239 (talk)

Query on headline statistics in overview box on right hand side of page

The denomination percentages are from the 2009 Pew Research Center report. However, other data e.g. total Muslim population (1.8 billion) and country populations are from more recent reports. Therefore, there should be a note saying that the 2009 percentages have been assumed to remain consistent otherwise we are mixing different reports and methods without justification.

I think note 1 should be expanded to explain why the "non-denominational" Muslims are only deducted from the 87-90% of Sunnis. Also there needs to be some explanation why we can deduct non-denominational Muslims mentioned in a 2012 report from a percentage in a 2009 report.

Ahmadiyya have been added as approx. 1% of the Muslim population but are they included in the 1.8 billion figure? Perhaps they are because they self-identify as Muslim but this needs to be made clear because they are not recognised as Muslim by most other Muslims and so including them as 1% could be confusing.

From the 2012 Pew Research Center report I cannot understand how a figure of approx. 1% of other denominations is arrived at. As far as I can see no mention is made of any other denominations. Mention is made of them on p. 9 of the 2009 report but they are neglected. Hajjamda (talk) 21:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)hajjamda

Muslim → Muslims – Per WP:PLURAL: "Articles on people groups" are acceptable in plural form. There was recent consensus to move Christians from the singular to the plural form. This RM is therefore intended to achieve WP:CONSISTENCY for religious groups across the project. See also Talk:Hindu. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 09:02, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Non denominational 'Muslim'

I believe this is a bit misleading. Just cause a Muslim doesnt chose to identify with a sect doesn't change that he is practicing a specific sect. in the case of kazakhstan and other countries where the Sunni has been changed to 'non denominational', its sunni Islam that is practiced in mosques. there is no 'non denominational' way of practicing Islam. You either pray, fast like a Sunni or Shia. The statistics misleadingly takes away the Sunni population while the Shia percentage is kept the same. Giving a misleading idea that those 20% are undecided, when they are still practicing Sunni islam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.190.37.245 (talk) 10:03, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

recent edits as of 2020-02-14

A recent edit here caught my eye because of the {{As of|2019}} it contained; I wondered about that in relation to the dates of the cited sources and thought to check that. On checking, I found that the supporting Ref for the sentence of interest was an orphan. I looked around and found the same ref name with defined content over in the Muslim world article, linking to a list of sources. Some of those sources were dated but none were dated 2019. I copied the body of that Ref into this article anyhow to get rid of the cite error in the References section. Looking at the recent edit history of this article, I see that the edit which caught my eye was part of a series of edits by Pasword1. I see that that user talk page is empty but that it had contained warnings in the past, which is OK per WP:TPG. Still, it seems to me that his recent edits might deserve a look by an editor who knows a lot more about the topic of this article than I.
