Huffington Post: Taking The Fight To ISIS From The Homeland
According to press reports Abdul Razak Ali Artan’s terror rampage was memorialized in a Facebook posting in which the terrorist cited ISIS as his motivation, and the YouTube sermons of Anwar al-Awlaki as his inspiration. Last June I issued an urgent call to action in the HuffPost for Google/YouTube to pro-actively remove from its platform the vile, vindictive radical Islamic sermons of al-Awlaki which are directly complicit in the murder of innocent Americans. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) - headed by former Amb. Mark Wallace - has supported the development of “eGlyph” technology, software developed by Dr. Harry Farid of Dartmouth College - which uses “robust hashing” across all social media platforms to analyze images, videos and audio, to flag - very quickly and accurately - radical Islamic extremist content.

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
