Remarks: Because officially Muslim governments (such as Saudi Arabia,[43] Iran,[44] Sudan,[45] Somalia,[46] Afghanistan,[47] Pakistan[48] and Persian Gulf States[49]) that often forcibly suppress other religious beliefs rule a number of traditionally Islamic countries, the figures for these other religious groups could be higher than reported in those nations. While conversion to Islam is among its most supported tenets, conversion from Islam to another religion is considered to be the sin of apostasy. According to the Hadith[50] and in some countries it is subject to the penalty of death.[51] See Freedom of religion by country and Apostasy in Islam.
