Roughly seven out of 10 people in the EU named IS, the jihadist group which recently carried out attacks in Paris and Brussels, as a "major" menace in a new study by US think tank Pew, out on Tuesday (14 June).
More than half of Europeans said climate change, economic instability and cyber-attacks were "dire" threats. A little less than half also named the number of refugees coming from Iraq and Syria as a "major" challenge.
But just one in three EU nationals put "tensions with Russia" in the same category.
Pew interviewed 11,494 people in April and May from France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US.
The 10 European countries account for 80 percent of the EU population and 82 percent of its combined GDP.












Comment: What mind-numbing page space filler from the New York Times these days. Could it be that the real and intended purpose of such a proposal is to drive up gun sales?
