Cocos (Keeling) Islands is an
Australian external territory in the
Indian Ocean, comprising a small archipelago approximately midway between Australia and
Sri Lanka, near the coast of
Indonesia. Her dual name (official since her incorporation into Australia in 1955) reflects that she has historically been known as either the Cocos Islands or the Keeling Islands.
The
colonizers brought Indonesians to be slaves in Cocos, and thats why she has a majority
Malay population. As of 2021, she only has 593 people.

Muslim and the non-Muslim population of the islands.
