Tracking Sympathy and Support of Muslims for Terrorism in Muslim Countries and in the United Kingdom

Investigator:

Clark McCauley

This project aims to use existing survey data to better understand beliefs and behaviors of Muslims in a range of international contexts. The project involves:
1) Analysis of possible predictors of sympathy for and justification for terrorism, using existing survey data from a range of U.S. and international sources including past and proposed START surveys;
(2) Analysis of data from American National Election Surveys 2008-2009, including activism and radicalism items developed by McCauley and Moskalenko; and
(3) Analysis of data from Zogby surveys of U.S. Muslims, 2001-1007.

This project is a follow-up and expansion of previous previous START-supported international survey work. See International Survey Capability and Mobilization For and Against Terrorism in the Islamic World.
