Question

Just 0.2% of the world’s Muslims live in North America. In the U.S., Muslims are projected to double from 0.9% of the population in 2010 to 2.1% by 2050 based on recent demographic and migration patterns.

Meanwhile, worldwide,  as of 2010, there were an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, making Islam the world’s second-largest religious tradition after Christianity. By 2050, the number of Muslims worldwide will grow to 2.76 billion, or 29.7% of world’s population.

Hence, making sense of Islam may be less than pressing in the United States, but is increasingly important worldwide.

For example, as noted in the case profile, Saudi Arabia’s Dynamic Culture,  life in Saudi Arabia can be perplexing to foreign managers as they try to exercise acceptable personal and business behavior. Its mixture of strict religious convictions, ancient social traditions, and governmental economic policies results in laws and customs that often contrast with those in other countries, shift with little advance notice, and vary by industry and region.

Ancient customs and strict religious convictions within Saudi Arabia result in a variety of unique contemporary social practices.
