More than 42 million Muslims join IS support

(Baonghean.vn) - The terrorist group IS has just been joined by more than 42 million Muslims - a latest report warns and predicts that this number will continue to increase.

Four recent polls have revealed a surprising number of supporters of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) around the world. Ryan Mauro, a member of the Clarion Project, warns that “IS is really just a small part of a larger and more terrifying organization.”

“If we don’t act soon, this will continue – and what we have now will in the future become the luxuries of a bygone era,” Ryan added.

The Islamic State (IS) is expanding at an alarming rate.

According to some sources, the number of people actively following IS has reached millions and many others have also changed to have a positive view of this terrorist organization.

Meanwhile, just last week, IS shocked the world with a series of bloody terrorist attacks on three continents. Among those attacks was the massacre of dozens of civilians, including foreigners, by cold-blooded Islamist gunman Seifeddine Rezgui on the coast of Tunisia.

A survey in April in the UK aimed at understanding the psychology of the Muslim community showed that more than a third of British Muslims blame the police and the Security Service (MI5) for the radicalization of young people.

According to the survey results, one in four people would sympathize with those who go to Syria to join and fight with the terrorist group IS. The rate of sympathy mentioned above is higher among women.
