According to Wikipedia, there are 8 Islamic states (Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen). There are many states that aren’t Islamic but have Islam as a state religion (Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Morocco, Palestine, Qatar, Somalia, Syria, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates).

How come there are no Christian states (except the Vatican of course)?
