Perhaps it would help if you told us truthfully your goal in seeking these answers.

Before we can make these calculations, you need to tell us if you consider either Jews or Muslims to be human.

I believe katya8 is Jewish, if that helps clarify the slant of the question. Maybe being Jewish myself, I see where this is going.

There are about 100 Muslims for each jew, and about 500 total people for each jew.
And there are almost 200 Christians for each jew, in case you care.

Seeing as this is a Mathematical forum, I am interested in the mathematical dilemma created by this fascinating problem.

Can you be a Muslim Jew ? I mean the people who are born Jewish and convert to Islam-- I assume they are still Jewish (and human).

How do these folk affect these calculations?

Geeeez, you guys! I came here for mathematical help, not a political discourse.

Stop aggressing against me!

If you want a serious answer, kicky got it right (assuming that Muslems are humans and not counting Muslim Jews).

For future reference you can simply type in the following on your calculator.

1 3 0 0 / 1 2 =

Is Katya short for Yekaterina? I think I've been to your palace.

1) 6,000 / 12

2) 1,300 / 12

I reluctantly concede that both Jews and Musims are human. I agree there is a sizable grey area of persons who barely regard themselves as Jews or Muslums. I think 12 million Jews is way low. Lets use 60 million for easy arithmetic = 1% of the world's population.
!.2 billion is likely too many, but easy arthmetic = 20% So there are 20 times as many Muslims as Jews. So how do we achieve World Peace? Stop stalling and tell us. Neil

For some reason, I do not like this mathematical equation used with humans and ppl of different religion. You could have used apples and pears or something. I think if you are going to post something like this, it's really really aweful because I don't see where you are coming from. Sorry.

Hi Zedd: I agree it is in bad taste, but I resent the idea of using the law to enforce what some people consider politically incorrect. I admit to being a bit rebellious. How can we do good analysis if we can't even talk about some subjects? Neil

What the hell are you guys talking about? Katya is just trying to figure out a ratio here. Nothing more was said. You're getting all upset over nothing.

Zedd seemed a bit upset, so I agreed it was in bad taste. I have fun shocking people by being in bad taste and politically incorrect. Katya has not posted recently on this thread, so how can we guess her reaction except possibly from other threads? Neil
