More than 25 percent of Singaporeans said that religious extremists should be allowed to air their beliefs and perspectives online as long as there is no call to harm others
oreans said that religious extremists should be allowed to air their beliefs and perspectives online. For Singaporeans aged 18 to 25, the number nearly doubles.is an analysis of Singapore data from a multi-country survey conducted in the latter part of 2018 for the International Social Survey Program Study of Religion.
“Given the rise of self-radicalization in terrorist incidents, hate speech and Islamophobia both globally and in Singapore, it is comforting that the majority of Singaporeans would not allow religious extremists to post their views online. In the area of confidence in religious organisations, around the same number of respondents say they have a complete or a great deal of confidence in these organizations as those who have confidence in Parliament.
For one part of the study, respondents were asked if they considered Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and atheists threatening or not threatening.
