# Distribution of Muslims in Western Europe

These Muslim population figures are from a forthcoming Pew Forum report that estimates growth rates among Muslim populations worldwide and provides population projections for 2020 and 2030. A 2009 Pew Forum report, "[Mapping the Global Muslim Population](/Muslim/Mapping-the-Global-Muslim-Population.aspx)" provides 2009 population estimates. For the purposes of this report, Western Europe includes the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Roll over a country bubble to see its estimated 2010 Muslim population and the percentage of its population that is Muslim.
