Currently, 82% of Muslims say they are either \u201cvery\u201d (66%) or \u201csomewhat\u201d (16%) concerned about extremism in the name of Islam around the world, up from 72% in 2011. (In 2007, 77% of Muslims said they were very or somewhat concerned.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the U.S. public as a whole, a similar share (83%) say they are at least somewhat concerned about extremism in the name of Islam around the world, although Muslims are more likely than Americans overall to say they are <em>very<\/em> concerned about extremism in the name of Islam around the world (49% of U.S. adults say this).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increased concern about global extremism is especially pronounced among Muslim women, older Muslims and Muslim immigrants. Currently, almost nine-in-ten Muslim women (89%) say they are at least somewhat concerned about extremism in the name of Islam around the world, up 16 percentage points since 2011. Among Muslims ages 55 and older, 88% express concern about global extremism in the name of Islam (including 82% who are very concerned), up 28 points since 2011. And among foreign-born Muslims, the share expressing concern about this issue has jumped 15 points over the last six years (from 66% to 81%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a class=\"image-box\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2017\/07\/26\/terrorism-and-concerns-about-extremism\/pf_2017-06-26_muslimamericans-05-05\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28385\"><img data-dominant-color=\"d8e2e0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #d8e2e0;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/07\/PF_2017.06.26_muslimamericans-05-05.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47370 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muslims are somewhat less concerned about extremism in the name of Islam <em>in the U.S.<\/em> than they are about extremism in the name of Islam around the world, which is also the case for the U.S. public overall.

Another 30% volunteer that \u201cit depends\u201d or offer another response or no opinion.[31. numoffset=&#8221;31&#8243; Court proceedings, media coverage and journal articles since 9\/11 have brought attention to undercover \u201csting\u201d operations that are conducted by federal law enforcement, in which agents and informants pretend to be terrorists or abettors of terrorism and encourage the investigation\u2019s target (who became known to the FBI through informants or social media) to commit or assist in a terrorist act. If the target expresses willingness, the FBI arrests the target before such an act occurs, having secured proof of the willingness. Defense lawyers, the American Civil Liberties Union and Muslim-advocacy groups say this constitutes entrapment, and that many people arrested in such stings would not have done anything illegal but for the prodding by the undercover agents or informants. Defenders of these investigations say they serve as proactive tools to prevent possible terrorist attacks, and that they address the existence of \u201clone wolf\u201d attackers who lack formal ties to terrorist organizations. One media investigation concluded that two of every three recent prosecutions regarding accusations of support for the Islamic State involved such undercover operations.

Three-quarters of U.S. Muslims (76%) say this, compared with 59% of the general public. Similar shares of Muslims (12%) and all U.S. adults (14%) say targeting and killing civilians can \u201coften\u201d or \u201csometimes\u201d be justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"image-box\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2017\/07\/26\/terrorism-and-concerns-about-extremism\/pf_2017-06-26_muslimamericans-05-02\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28382\"><img data-dominant-color=\"5f4840\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #5f4840;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/07\/PF_2017.06.26_muslimamericans-05-02.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47345 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muslims who say religion is very important in their lives and those who say religion is less important to them express similar views on this question.\n<a name=\"what-muslims-said-about-extremism-violence\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-callout has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"in-their-own-words-what-muslims-said-about-extremism-and-violence\">In their own words: What Muslims said about extremism and violence<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>[violence against civilians]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[has]<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[anybody]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNever. I see the world from my own moral and religious standpoint: If you have a beef with someone, the only way you can justify taking to arms is if you\u2019re attacked first. And then, according to Muslim law, I\u2019m only talking about governments \u2026 to defend their population or their borders. My faith is a completely a nonviolent faith. I don\u2019t support the use of IEDs or of warfare by shadow fighters who are not part of a government. As an American, I have a huge problem with anyone choosing to take up arms against our country. At the same time, I\u2019m critical of our government. The way we use drones casts an ugly glow over our foreign policy. It doesn\u2019t make things better or foster togetherness.\u201d <em>\u2013 Muslim woman in her 40s<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur religion teaches us never to kill or to hurt others. Islam teaches us peace, not violence. \u2026 I just want to say that all Muslims are not bad people. Some might be psychos are something like that. But people need to know that real Islam is against violence. \u2026 Real Muslims are not violent or bad.\u201d <em>\u2013 Muslim woman over 60<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new, more general question about violence against civilians was designed to be asked of all U.S. adults, to help put findings about Muslims into context. In previous surveys of Muslim Americans, Pew Research Center asked Muslims whether targeting and killing civilians could be justified <em>in defense of Islam<\/em>, which made comparisons with non-Muslims impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new question finds that among the general public, Americans with a high school degree or less education are somewhat more likely than those with more education to say there are circumstances in which violence against civilians can be justified. In addition, Republicans and those who lean toward the GOP are more likely than Democrats to say such tactics are sometimes or often justifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>[World War II]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the survey question was intended to probe the morality of targeting innocent people to advance a cause \u2013 as suicide bombers and other terrorists often do \u2013 some respondents may have interpreted it more broadly. For instance, one man in his 80s said that violence against civilians is acceptable \u201cjust in self-defense.\u201d And another man in his 50s said: \u201cIf I\u2019m walking along and I\u2019m peaceful, and somebody wants to hurt me or my family because of their political, religious, social views, by all means I think \u2026 our law enforcement has every right to put them down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"image-box\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2017\/07\/26\/terrorism-and-concerns-about-extremism\/pf_2017-06-26_muslimamericans-05-01\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-28381\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/07\/PF_2017.06.26_muslimamericans-05-01.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28381\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2011, U.S. Muslims have become more concerned about extremism in the name of Islam around the world.
