Indonesia has the third-highest terrorism rate among Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries. The *Global Terrorism Index 2016*, released by the London-based think tank Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), gives Indonesia a score of 4.429 out of 10. This places Indonesia below the Philippines (ranked first with an index of 7.098) and Thailand (6.706).
The impact of terrorist acts in Indonesia is higher than in Malaysia (score 2.691) and Myanmar (4.167). Meanwhile, Singapore and Brunei are the Southeast Asian countries least affected by terrorism.
The IEP assesses that Indonesia's status as home to the world's largest Muslim population makes it a frequent target for religiously motivated terrorism and a recruiting ground. The *Global Terrorism Index* is an annual study measuring the impact of terrorism based on four factors: the number of incidents, fatalities, injuries, and damage caused.
