| Summary |
"This report used Arabic media sources to study the victim's [sic] of al-Qa'ida's violence through a non-Western prism. This allows researchers to avoid accusations of bias associated with Western news outlets or U.S.-based datasets. Almost all of the major terrorism incident databases utilize Western and English language reporting as primary source material. Al-Qa'ida and sympathizers consistently argue that Western media outlets are no more than propaganda machines, and therefore, any reports or data they release distort facts or lack accuracy. English language sources lack credibility in certain parts of the world. In order to ensure both the accuracy and credibility of the analysis and conclusions, the report relied exclusively on Arabic language media sources when coding fatalities. All of the sources used in this exercise are available as an appendix to this report to ensure that other researchers can reproduce these results. The results show that non-Westerners are much more likely to be killed in an al-Qa'ida attack."--Page 2 |
