<p>Religion, Security and Global Uncertainties report for the Religion, Martyrdom and
Global Uncertainties (1914-2014) project. This report examines the
relationship between religion and security, including terrorism and
so-called ‘religious violence’. It has two key objectives:</p>
<p>· To provide guidance on identifying circumstances in which religion
(either on its own or in combination with other factors) is likely to
give rise to security challenges.
· To provide a constructive interrogation of some underexplored
assumptions relating to religion and security.</p>
<p>The report is informed by research conducted between October 2013 and
January 2014, which included a series of interviews with academic
researchers and roundtable discussions with MPs, public policy officers,
journalists, church ministers, and representatives of faith communities,
local community organisations and NGOs.</p>
