Abstract: Recent empirical research conducted by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life documents how social hostilities and government restrictions involving religion have cross-national impacts or influences. Data from a large ongoing research project demonstrates that there are six broad manifestations of these cross-border dynamics: 1) tensions over the religion of immigrants and refugees; 2) religious extremism spreading from country to country; 3) attempts by governments to influence religious affairs in other countries; 4) religion-related terrorism by individuals or groups who come from abroad or are supported from abroad; 5) hostile reactions to religion-related events that have occurred in another country; and 6) religion-related wars or armed conflicts
