Via Times of Israel:

A new study of posts from Arabic-speaking social media users has uncovered that support for the Islamic State is higher in Belgium, France, the United Kingdom and the United States than it is in Iraq and Syria — the two countries partially controlled by the jihadist group.

The Italian study analyzed over two million Twitter and Facebook posts in Arabic in a three-and-a-half month period starting in July 2014.

According to a report published Thursday by the Guardian, 19.7 percent of posts originating from Iraq and 7.6% of posts from Syria were supportive of the Islamic State, compared to Belgium (31.0%), the United Kingdom (23.8%), the United States (21.4%) and France (20.8%).

Germany (15.7%), Canada (15.3%) and Israel (13.4%) were also the source of posts supportive of the renegade caliphate.
