But anyways, my question is: is it roughly accurate to break it down in quarters like this?

Nope,

More Muslims in places like China and Indonesia then there are people in most other places...

Your problem is grouping muslims into colors.

You shouldn't be showcasing that kind of superficial diversity, especially in dawah....

As for the OP..i don't see how breaking the Ummah into divisions helps daw'ah but maybe you will share with us insha'Allah

Thanks for your advice, but it's not necessary.

You have no idea what I need this for, so keep your advice to yourself.

All jokes aside, if you really want to get a good idea of the ethnic breakdown of the world wide Muslim population, all you have to do is peruse the CIA factbook for every country with a sizeable population. Their site has statistics for the population of each country, ethnicities of the country, languages of the country, and for your purposes, % of people following different religions in that country. So, all you need to do is take the overall population of the country, and multiply it by the percent of Muslim in that country, and you would have the number of Muslim in that country. Since most Muslim countries (or even those with sizeable minorities) are pretty homogenous, that would also tell you which "color" the Muslim population there fits into.

Happy research!

Barakh-Allah Feek.

I was hoping that someone else would do it for me.

All you need to know is that there are more brown Muslims than everyone else.

[flutterz]

i'm a lilac muslim. with teal polka dots. oh wait. that makes me an easter egg.
fine. i'll stick to being brown. medium sandy beige to be specific.

majority of the islamica smileys seem to be oriental (yellow): too many to list

blue muslims:
that means ninjas (sorry wolfn) and people with psychotic/social disorders (sorry flutterz), and perhaps also geniuses (sorry heba), and wheelworks fall in this group.

[flutterz]

purpleish muslims: (most of fph posters)

green muslims: (jamroll obviously falls in this group)

red muslims: (fooz+zakk sometimes, half of timbit etc.)

[flutterz]

brown muslims: (desis on islamica, the smileys are too fitting, e.g. , = hairy amongst other things)

pink/magenta muslims: = annoying = teenypopper muslims

[flutterz]

okay, i have way too much time. and silliness.
but i'm done for now. i think. bye.
