The Washington Times: Muhammad cartoon contest shooting consistent with 'lone wolf' attack, White House says
The White House said Wednesday that the shooting in Texas for which the Islamic State has claimed responsibility was consistent with a lone-wolf attack, while a terrorism watch group said the violence may have been inspired by an al-Shabab extremist from Minnesota who is wanted by the FBI.
The Counter Extremism Project, which is headed by former Homeland Security adviser Frances Townsend, said extremist Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan called on his “brothers” to attack the “Draw the Prophet” contest in Texas and compared it with the killings in France this year at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

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.
