Statistics of Mohammedanism.


It is estimated that there are 200,000,000 Mohammedans in the world, of whom 6,000,000 are in southeastern Europe and 20,000,000 in Asiatic Turkey, 7,500,000 in Persia, 25,000,000 in Arabia and Central Asla, and 60,000,000 in Hindostan. Considerably more then half of them are in Asia, and the reaminder in Africa, except the 6,000,000 in Eurpoean Turkey. It is also stated that Islam is rapidly converting the followers of Brahminism. This is the force which threatens England should the Mahdi succeed in impressing it with the belief that he is the true Prophet.
