==Discrepancy==
The exact percentage of the world's Muslim population that adheres to the various [[Shi'a]] sects, as opposed to the majority [[Sunni]] group, is indeterminate. No Sunni-Shi'a breakdown is available for many countries. The [[CIA World Factbook]] gives a Sunni-Shi'a breakdown only for countries where Shi'a are a ''significant'' minority. When no breakdown is given, all the country's Muslims have been enrolled, provisionally, in the Sunni column. This is certain to have exaggerated the proportion of Sunni Muslims. Much further work will be required before the Sunni-Shi'a statistics given here can be considered reliable. At present, the figures indicate 85% Sunni and 15% Shi'a.

No columns have been provided for other sects, such as the [[Ibadi]] branch of Islam. Ibadis make up 75 percent of [[Oman]]'s population.<ref name="The world factbook/Oman/"/>

The CIA estimates that Muslims constitute some 20.12% of the world population. If the larger figure is used, the percentage would be 23.1%. The discrepancy may be due to rounding errors, since in many cases the Muslim population was calculated from the general population multiplied by the Muslim percentage. Replacing the CIA figures with figures from national censuses, if available, could reduce this discrepancy.
