Abstract
Nowadays, terrorism is rampant but the propagation mechanism of terrorist ideology is still remaining mysterious. For the purpose to understand how terrorists spread their ideas and affect the community, the paper developed an agent-based simulation model based on existed opinion propagation models. By considering the special behavior characteristics of both heterogeneous crowd and terrorist group, the model could describe the process better, and supplied a pattern to compare the impact of different social factors. The results is explainable and consistent with our cognitive. Also, the model could be a supplement to the field of opinion propagation, at the same time understand the terrorism ideology propagation in a quantitative perspective.
