Islamic terrorism

=== 2010s ===
According to the Global Terrorism Index, deaths from terrorism peaked in 2014 and have fallen  each year since then until 2019 (the last year the study had numbers for), making a decline of more than half (59% or 13,826 deaths) from their peak. The five countries "hardest hit" by terrorism continue to be Muslims countries—Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Syria and Somalia.
