The Muslim % column is the percentage of Muslims of a country out of the total population. The higher the
percentage is of a country, then the higher the Muslim majority. Saudi Arabia has the highest Muslim percentage of
the country at 100%, note that this figure only applies to citizens, and the country's 8 million foreign workers are
excluded from this count; there are no official statistics available.†
The column Main sect shows whether the predominant denomination of Muslims is Sunni, Shi'a, or other sects.
Religion and state is the role of religion in politics based on the constitutions: Islamic state indicates use of Sharia
law or the Quran as a form of legislation (e.g., Saudi Arabia); state religion indicates that Islam as the official
religion of a country, where Sharia courts may be used (e.g., Malaysia); secular indicates that government
institutions are formally separated from religion (e.g., Turkey); and none indicates that the state has neither adopted a
state religion, declared an Islamic state, nor declared a secular state (e.g., Indonesia).
The column type of government is the set of political institution by which a government of a state is organized in
order to exert its powers over a community.[1] The Muslim countries are mainly monarchies and presidential
republics. The military power or strength of the countries is shown by the numbers of active troops, the powerful of
these include Iran, Pakistan and Turkey. The GDP (PPP) per capita is the data for the economy of the Muslim
countries. The data can be used to compare rich or poor countries or to compare the economies. The GDP per capita
(PPP) have been obtained from the IMF's World Economic Outlook Database for 2007. All information and data are
estimates.[2]

• † The statistic of 100% only applies to citizens of Saudi Arabia, and does not include the total population. There
is currently no data or information regarding the religious beliefs of the people, and all Saudi citizens are regarded
as Wahhabi, however there are over 8 million foreign workers in the country (non-nationals). Other religious
groups of foreigners are from other Muslim sects, Christians (including Eastern Orthodox, Protestants, and over
one million Roman Catholics), Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and others. Comprehensive statistics for the religious
denominations of foreigners are not available.[147]
