Muslims Born in West Are More Likely Terrorists; Swedish Study:Western Muslims Feel a Prejudice

A new study by researchers at a Swedish university has found that Muslims born and raised in the West are more likely to support extremist ideas than those who are born elsewhere and who later emigrate to the West, the RT website reports today (March 20, 2019).

While it is a common assumption that the threat from extremist Islam comes from outside the West, the new study has found that homegrown radicals could be a much greater problem.

Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden found that support among Western-born Muslims for extremism often comes from a feeling of being disadvantaged in comparison to the majority of the population in those countries.

The researchers also found that when you look at terror attacks that occurred in Europe and the U.S., you find that a majority of them are "planned and implemented by people who are born and raised in the West."
