C. Christine Fair and Bryan Shepherd’s research note explores the different aspects upon demand for terrorism (also known as support) to address empirical lacunae in exploring detailed demographic and psychographic variables among fourteen countries with predominantly Muslim populations or with large Muslim minorities in 2002.
