Can someone tell me where the number 33,000 comes from? I know it's difficult in general to come up with numbers for people of a particular faith, so I'd like to add where that number comes from and what it specifies. Is it limited to South Korea or does it include the North? Does it include the non-Korean migrants living in Korea, which would significantly increase the number? Does it include Koreans living overseas (the only Korean Muslims I know are those living overseas)? --Iceager 14:43, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
- It might be nice to get a % of Korean Muslims out of the total Korean population. ---Mpatel (talk) 10:48, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Islam does not "have" anything. It's not an entity capable of ownership. The article is about Muslims in Korea. freestylefrappe 04:50, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
- A religion can "have" adherents. The grammar of that is correct. Also article title is "ISLAM in Korea". But I left your version in the article and made several grammar edits.--a.n.o.n.y.m t 15:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Islam in South Korea
[edit]Islam in Korea and Islam in South Korea are (almost?) exact copies of each other. Please
- delete all pre-division content from Islam in South Korea, and
- delete all content that only refers to South Korea from Islam in Korea
to avoid any double efforts. Wikipeditor 22:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Islam is not the fastest growing religion in South Korea
[edit]Hi there! As I can see that you are always adding this entry "Islam is also the fastest growing religion in country" to many Korea-related articles and its source is come from an Islamic organzation [1]...that is why mostly people highly doubt it, will the people believe it? Because according to the national estimates of South Korea has showed that Roman Catholicism and Won Buddhism are 2 fastest growing religions here. I suggest that you must never added this entry again because it violated WP:RS, NPOV. Thank for your good works. Angelo De La Paz (talk) 16:19, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, The source is originally Arab news, not an Islamic organization. The page in Islamawareness.net shows the article from Arab news. If otherwise, please show the census estimates, that you said, that shows that Roman Catholicism and Won instead are the 2 fastest growing religions. Still, I want to say I appreciate your concern in keeping this NPOV.Opticals (talk) 22:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Roman Catholicism: 2,950,730 (6.14%) as of 1995 ==> 5,146,000 (10.53%) = nearly double after 10 years
- Won Buddhism: 86,923 (0.18%) as of 1995 ==> 130,000 (0.26%) = +150% after 10 years
- Other religions (included 45,000 Muslims): 267,996 (0.55%) as of 1995 ==> 247,000 (0.5%) = declined
- Other religions: Including not only 45.000 Muslims (the least in other recognized religions in South Korea), but also Jehovah's Witnesses, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Seventh-day Adventist Church, Daesun Jinrihoe.[4]
And if Islam is the fastest growing religion in S.Korea with only 45,000 Muslims so it can be impossible with only 6 mosques. Because don't like Buddhism, or maybe even Christianity; Muslims must go to mosques at least once a week. Now, let's do a small operation:
- 45,000 Muslims : 6 mosques = 7,500 people/ mosque
But remember that the largest mosque in Korea is Seoul Central Mosque can contains only less than 1000 people.
Now, that is clear. And Islam was not the fastest growing religion in South Korea. About your citation given: 100% citizens of Arab countries must be Muslims and Islam is state religion. Look again the words in your citation given is: Islam Awareness; I don't care it come from Arabia or not but I know that is an Islamic webiste. The citation given of The Korea Times (11-22-2002) has agreed that Islam is growing in South Korea but it's no way to be the fastest growing religion here.[5]

Ways to improve
[edit]Through the research, I noticed how the informations are written in the past point of view. This means that, as the year passes, Korea had been open minded about Islam, providing more freedom for Islam community to practice in their belief. However, in this Wikipedia, while it provides historical information about how Islam first arrived in Korea, I believe this page could improve more if we write more about current situation of Islam in Korea. Also, to provide more accurate and unbiased information regarding this topic, it is significant to include statistics. This not only forbids rebuttal, but also allows quantitive datas in this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stella Yun (talk • contribs) 01:10, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
