That’s pretty much what sudden death is. You get one mistake or “whammy” and if you miss one, you lose.

I feel like this would be more interesting if it included Muslim-majority cities in non-Muslim majority countries, or vice versa.

Grozny is a good example, as is Srinagar. But these are probably a little obscure for a quiz such as this.

Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania is an example.

For vice versa, Kuala Lumpur and Lagos are non-Muslim-majority cities in Muslim-majority countries (though narrowly as for Nigeria).

wow there are so many Muslims, they're running the statistics department to hide their true numbers!

When it comes to people that actually practice their religion it's probably more muslims.

Also no way it's just 4%.

People mostly strict to their religion, customs etc. when they are in minority in a region.

Lagos and Kuala Lumpur should've been added in the possible answers for more spice 😂

Same, I knew Lebanon was historically majority Christian (mainly Maronite Catholic) but IIRC b/c of all the war & instability, a huge number of Christians have left

I was definitely on the fence about Nicosia. I knew the city basically was right on the border between the Turkish (muslim) and Greek (christian) part of the island, but not which side it was mainly on.

Surprised Chittagong is the least guessed answer. I guess people aren't very familiar with it?

Tirana is interesting. Albania as a whole is around 51% Muslim so just barely the majority. You might assume Tirana would be more secular since it's the largest city, but it's actually slightly more Muslim than the country with about 53% of the city being Muslim. However, if you don't count the unique Bektashi variety as Muslim, then neither Albania nor Tirana are majority Muslim.

Also, does anyone have the numbers for Nicosia? The northern half of the city (majority Muslim) is more populous than the southern half (majority Christian). So, it would be kind of surprising if Nicosia isn't majority Muslim.
