There are about 1.6 billion Muslims, or 23% of the world’s population, making Islam the second-largest religion after Christianity.  The two major sects in Islam are the Sunnis and the Shiites. Many of these differences are due to disagreements over tradition. Shiites place more weight on the hadiths that came from Muhammad's close family and companions, while Sunnis consider a much wider range of sources to be valid. Two major holidays for Muslims are Ramadan where they celebrate prayer and fasting and Hajj where each year during the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, millions of Muslims make an annual pilgrimage to Mecca. The Muslim in America has been posed over the silhouette of the `other’. That vague being whose existence is a threat to your existence.
