'This special issue of the La Trobe Journal focuses on Muslims in Australia. Islam is the world's second largest religion with an estimated 1.6 billion adherents spread across the globe, Muslims are thus incredibly diverse: culturally, linguistically and religiously. Although Islam is often presented as an Arab religion, the majority of believers (62%) are found in the Asia-Pacific region and it is Indonesia to Australia's north that is the world's largest Muslim country.'
