Does Oppressed Religious Liberty Cause an Uprising in Terror Attacks?
نویسنده
چکیده
The political community’s research comes across as inconclusive in regard to the relationship between liberty and terrorism, given the differing opinions on what defines ‘liberty’ and ‘terrorism.’ Most research up to 2016 has been done on terrorist data after 2001 and until 2010 (in some cases 2012). My research expands to the year 2014 to analyze the connection between religious oppression by governments of varying countries and their effect on the number of terror attacks in the span of one year. My research does not support my hypothesis of a relationship between these two variables; however, other religious factors included as controls showed a surprising positive correlation with the number of terror attacks in the year of 2014. These surprising results are important to the international community as to the policies we implement in regard to religious group integration in specific countries.
