Why Western Muslims Support Terrorism More Than Middle Eastern Muslims Do

Muslims in the West use everything democracy hands them to expand the true Islam that is suppressed in the Islamic countries, and then they make sure anyone in their way pays for it.

As the rise of Islam in the West continues to dominate headlines, there’s a crucial reality many are overlooking: Muslims in the West are more “radical” than Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa. Why? Because they simply get to practice Islam in its full capacity. They are being wholly Muslim, unlike their brothers and sisters under Islamic dictatorships, who face rulers who permit them to practice Islam as long as it does not threaten their political authority.

The evidence is striking. A 2015 report found that about 16,000 jihadists from the Middle East and North Africa went to fight with jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq. That region has about 414 million Muslims, 94 percent of its population. Western Europe, where Muslims numbered about 26 million in 2016, less than 5 percent of the population, produced more than 5,000. That is one jihadist for every 25,000 or so Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa, and one for every 5,000 in Western Europe, more than four times the rate.

The gap widens in individual countries. Belgium, with about 860,000 Muslims in 2016, produced roughly 500 jihadists, one for every 1,700. France, with 5.7 million Muslims, produced about 1,700, one for every 3,400. Indonesia, with about 239 million Muslims in 2020, produced about 600, one for every 400,000. Belgium’s rate is roughly two hundred times Indonesia’s.

A study coordinated by Germany’s federal criminal police found that, in 2025, 23.8 percent of Muslims in Germany called an Islamic theocracy the best form of government, up from 18.7 percent in 2021, and 25.1 percent put the rules of the Quran above German law. In France, 24 percent of Muslims told Institut français d’opinion publique (IFOP) they sympathize with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose founder called restoring the caliphate an obligation on every Muslim.

Muslims in the West are a small minority in........
