Islam is mainly found in the Middle-East, North Africa, Central Asia and South-East Asia with its most populous nation in Indonesia. In by far most Islamic Regions Sunni Islam is the dominant sub-division, with Shia Islam only widely practiced in Iran (Persia) and (parts of Eastern) Iraq. In China Islam is spread thinly throughout and concentrated in the North-West. The rare form of Wahabism can be found in Saudi Arabia and lately in Indonesia and other Saudi "Aid" Nations.
