Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the [[Sunni]] and [[Shi'a]]. The [[schism]] developed in the late 7th century following disagreements over the religious and political leadership of the Muslim community. Roughly 85 percent of Muslims are Sunni and 15 percent are Shi'a. Islam is the predominant religion throughout the Middle East, as well as in parts of Africa and Asia. Large communities are also found in China, Western Europe, the Balkan Peninsula, and Russia. About 20 percent of Muslims live in Arab countries.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam]
