The statistic displays the results of a survey conducted by Ipsos of the perceived and actual Muslim population share in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2018. The survey results show that as of 2018, there was a significant gap between the public perception and actual share of the population who were Muslim in the Netherlands and in Belgium.
Survey respondents in the Netherlands estimated that one fifth of the population were Muslim, whereas this figure increased to over 25 percent among Belgian survey participants. In reality, just five percent of the population in the Netherlands and in Belgium was Muslim in 2018.
