Summary/Abstract: There are many studies on the concepts of refugee and terrorism. These studies often are designed from a perspective leaning towards the experiences of the countries or the international community. At the same time, although there are many studies on the impact of terrorism on migration or refugees, but not many studies focus on the effects of refugees on terrorist incidents in host countries or on their involvement in terrorist activities in host countries. This lack of studies on the effect of refugees on terrorism in host countries or their participation in terrorist organizations in host countries means an opportunity for a unique field of study, while on the other hand, it poses a lot of difficulty in doing research on the subject. While some studies claim that there is a link between refugees and terrorist incidents1, others disagree.
