These are real numbers, not gossip.
Since 2007, there is an estimated 250,000 to 350,000 Muslims in Sweden, from 1.8% to 4.4% of the Swedish population of 9 million, a statistic inferred mainly from the nationality of immigrant populations. 1 Most of the Muslim populations live in major cities, with more than 60% residing in three of the major city areas, Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö. 2 The Muslim population of Sweden is quite diverse, from over forty different countries, from Turkey, Bosnia, and Iran to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and other African, Asian, and European states.
A major Muslim population in Sweden is the Turkish population. In the 1980s, it had made up a majority of the Muslim populations in Sweden, but currently only constitutes about 10% of the total Muslim population. 3 However, the Turkish population maintains predominant source of Muslim political influence through its established and unified lobbying groups. 4
The Iranian populations make up the second single largest subgroup of ethnic Muslims (52,000), most of which arrived after 1985 as refugees. 5 Although many members of this population are more secular, one sixth of this population are considered religiously Muslim.
Other large populations include a large number of Iraqis (52,000), many of whom are Kurds, remnants of the Iran-Iraq war and Saddam Husseins ethnic cleansing policies. 6 There are also sizable populations of Lebanese (21,000). 7 Moroccans, Syrians, Tunisians, and Palestinians make up a population of 90,000. 8 Major populations from Africa include Somalians (16,000), Ethiopians (12,000). 9 From the Balkans, there are about 40,000 Muslims from Bosnia, and a large number of refugees from ex-Yugoslavia during the civil war. 10
Most of the Muslims in Sweden are Sunnis, though there exists a sizable population of Shias, at about 60,000 in the 1990s. 11
