health surveys, and general population
surveys and studies available for that
year. However, the sources for 1990
appear to have substantially understated
the actual number of Muslims in Angola,
Cyprus, France, Gabon, Mozambique and
Ukraine, while substantially overstating
the number in Colombia, Georgia,
Mongolia, Panama, Taiwan and Vietnam.
These likely undercounts and overcounts
should be taken into consideration when
looking at growth rates, particularly in the
affected countries. These problems in the
historical data are a reminder that new
censuses and surveys sometimes
contradict older ones. For example, as
this report went to press, Kazakhstan
released the results of its 2009 census,
which found that Muslims make up 70.2
of Kazakhstans population, a
substantially higher percentage than
reported in the countrys 1999
Demographic and Health Survey, the
source used to estimate Kazakhstans
Muslim population in 2010 and 2030 in
this report. The increase appears to be
due primarily to emigration of ethnic
Russians and other traditionally non-
Muslim groups from the country during
the past decade as well as to the general
trend, following the collapse of the Soviet
Union, of fewer people in former Soviet
republics identifying as nonreligious.
