The most common religion in northern Africa.

Islam is the most widespread religion in the North Africa region. Islam penetrated this region in the seventh and eighth centuries, after the Arabs from the Middle East conquered all of North Africa. All the countries of the Mediterranean coast became part of the Arab Caliphate, where only Islam was preached, and persecutions were carried out against representatives of other religions. In addition, a large number of immigrants from Arabia to North Africa also contributed to the spread of Islam.
