IF I WAS BORN IN THE MUSLIM WORLD WOULD I BE CONSIDERED FORTY FIVE?


[+] serious ballot by contragrain
ACTIVE Mon Aug 13, 07 - Tue Aug 12, 08

Assuming I was born on the same day into a Muslim family who uses a Muslim calendar, I think I would be considered as a forty five year old man by my family.
Let me explain why I think this, and you tell me if I'm thinking right:
I did a conversion of Christian dates to Islamic dates, and Islamic dates to Christian dates.
I was born several (Islamic) months ago in the year 1383 it is now the (Islamic) year of 1428.
The day I was born, on the Christian calendar, was a few weeks back in 1963. That makes me 44 on the Christian calendar, but 45 on the Islamic calendar. Am I right? Tell me I'm wrong. The idea of being 45 instead of 44 isn't so appealing to me.

You're calculation is correct. If you were Muslim you'd be 45.
You're still 44, on BOTH calendars.
This is too confusing for me.

I guess the only part of the Islamic world that uses the Islamic calendar for civic affairs is Saudi Arabia and the countries which share the Gulf. The rest use the Gregorian calendar? Am I correct?
