Islam is the largest and the state religion of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which is second only to Indonesia in the size of its Muslim population.〔see: Islam by country〕 Pakistan has been called a "global center for political Islam". The overwhelming majority (95 to 97%) of Pakistan's 190 million people are Muslim while the remaining 3–5% are Christian, Hindu, and other minorities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan, Islam in )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=About.com )〕 Sunnis form the majority at 80-85%, while the Shias make up between 10-20%.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pakistan - International Religious Freedom Report 2008 )〕 Pakistan has the world's second largest Shia population after Iran, numbering between 16.5 million to as high as 30 million according to Vali Nasr. Ahmadi Muslims make up approximately 2% of the population of the country (whether Ahmadi are Muslim or not is disputed).〔The 1998 Pakistani census states that there are 291,000 (0.22%) Ahmadis in Pakistan. However, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has boycotted the census since 1974 which renders official Pakistani figures to be inaccurate. Independent groups have estimated the Pakistani Ahmadiyya population to be somewhere between 2 million and 5 million Ahmadis. However, the 4 million figure is the most quoted figure and is approximately 2.2% of the country.
