Abstract

Chad is one of those countries touched by Islamist violence that has originated mostly from its neighbours. However, thus far Chadian Muslims and Christians have demonstrated a positive attitude toward religious cohabitation. Survey data from a unique dataset of five Chadian cities confirm the population’s willingness to accept peaceful coexistence as well as a high level of religiosity. However, the data reveal Islamist fundamentalist attitudes among wealthier respondents who received either an Islamic-based primary education or have a first university degree. This combination is an unusual result. These respondents also show the highest support for authoritarian structures and the Chadian leadership. This leads to the conclusion that Islamist fundamentalism is most prominent among those persons who benefit most from the present regime.

对现状的满意:为什么宗教恐怖主义还没有在乍得生根?

乍得是受伊斯兰暴力影响的国家之一，这些暴力主要源自其邻国。然而，到目前为止，乍得穆斯林和基督徒对宗教同居表现出积极的态度。来自五个乍得城市的独特数据集的调查数据证实，人们愿意接受和平共处以及高度的宗教信仰。然而，数据显示，接受过以伊斯兰教为基础的小学教育或拥有第一个大学学位的较富裕的受访者对伊斯兰原教旨主义持态度。这种组合是一个不寻常的结果。这些受访者还显示出对独裁结构和乍得领导层的最高支持。由此得出的结论是，伊斯兰原教旨主义在从现政权中获益最多的人群中最为突出。
