Your support makes all the difference.The UK, Spain and Nigeria are among the countries most worried about the rise of Isis, according to new research.
A chart compiled by Statista for The Independent shows the countries most worried about the rise of the terror group - whose British militant member ‘Jihadi John’ was targeted by a US air strike, it emerged today.
While 85 per cent of those polled in Nigeria said they were very concerned about Isis, only a quarter said they felt the same in Indonesia.
In the UK, US, Spain and Lebanon, 70 per cent or more of those polled said they were very concerned.
At the time the data was obtained - in Spring of this year - 58 per cent of those in Russia expressed serious worries about Isis extremism, and 35 per cent in Syria's neighbour Turkey.
