According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/in.reuters.com\/article\/us-syria-security-denmark\/denmark-to-strip-foreign-fighters-of-danish-citizenship-idUSKBN1WT1RN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 14, 2019<\/a> report by Reuters, officials believed that since 2012, at least 158 \u200b\u200bpeople from Denmark joined militant Islamic groups in Syria or Iraq, of which around 27 remain in the conflict zone. A report by DW News from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/denmark-approves-stripping-is-fighters-of-citizenship\/a-50970297\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 24, 2019<\/a>, corroborates this.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the total population of Denmark in 2017 was 58 lakh.

In the last three years, this number would have naturally increased.
