Islam has no recognition in Bhutan and is practised by just 2,000 people, where the constitution establishes the "Chhoe-sid-nyi" (dual system of religion and politics) of Bhutan as unified in the person of the King who, as a Buddhist, is the upholder of the Chhoe-sid (religion and politics; temporal and secular) and the protector of all religions in Bhutan.[1] In 2009, the Pew Research Center estimated based on 2010 data that 0.1% of the population, or less than 2,000 people, were Muslims.[2][3]
