Islam has been practiced in China since the 7th century CE.[1] Muslims are a minority group in China, representing around 2 percent of the total population (17–25 million people). Though Hui Muslims are the most numerous group,[2][3] the greatest concentration of Muslims are in Xinjiang, which contains a significant Uyghur population. Lesser yet significant populations reside in the regions of Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai.[4] Of China's 55 officially recognized minority peoples, ten of these groups are predominantly Sunni Muslim.[4]
