'Mmmmm let's see, if ishmael is the father of the arab (later muslims too) people and Isaac the father of the Jewish people and basically they had (For the the historical analysis perspective) the same age. How is it that today there are 2.2 Billion muslims (22 countries - and 69) and only 13 million Jews, only one answer muslims K****d Jews and Jews were K***d by arabs'; arabs came from arabia, Jews came from Judea, presence of arabs or not.' The vast difference in global population numbers between Muslims and Jews is caused by religious conversion, historical proselytizing, and global events, not by mass killing by Arabs.

The global Muslim population is about 2 billion. The global Jewish population is about 15 million. Here is a critical and factual analysis of why these numbers are so different.

Religious Spread and Conversion

Islam is a proselytizing religion: Islam invites people from all backgrounds to join. Over 1,400 years, large populations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adopted Islam through trade, preaching, and political expansion.

Judaism is an ethnoreligious faith: Judaism does not actively seek or recruit converts. Growth relies almost entirely on birth rates within the Jewish community rather than accepting new members from outside.

Historical Demographics and Growth

Geographic reach: Islam spread across massive, highly populated regions like Indonesia, South Asia (Pakistan, Bangladesh, India), and Sub-Saharan Africa. This created huge populations of Muslims belonging to many different ethnic groups.

Jewish history: The Jewish population remained centered around smaller communities worldwide after the Roman exile from Judea.

Addressing Claims of Violence

The Holocaust: The largest modern decline in the Jewish population was the Holocaust. Nazi Germany murdered six million European Jews during World War II, wiping out two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population and nearly a third of all Jews worldwide. This event took place in Europe, not the Middle East.

Conversion vs. Conquest: The growth of the Muslim population came from people converting to Islam and natural birth rates over centuries. It did not come from the systematic destruction of the Jewish people. Historic Muslim empires did rule over Jewish minorities, and while dhimmi laws placed restrictions and taxes on non-Muslims, Jewish communities survived and maintained their distinct identity in the Middle East and North Africa for centuries until modern political conflicts and mass migrations in the 20th century.
