Africa is almost 50% Muslim with over 440 million Muslims living there. For all those sitting at home right now and interested there's a live debate on Al Jazeera English going on Riz Khan's show right now!

We will be discussing this on Thursday's Riz Khan show where some of your comments will be featured. Join the debate
