However, the checks were probably not always particularly thorough, terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler, director of the Counter Extremism Project, told our editorial team. “The withdrawal from Afghanistan was poorly planned and even worse executed,” said Schindler.

The founding of an AfD youth organization in Giessen has put the region on high alert. 50,000 demonstrators, some of whom are prepared to use violence, are expected. “Violence is legitimized in left-wing circles,” explains security expert [CEP Senior Director] Hans-Jakob Schindler.

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed on Hamas networks in Germany and Europe: “At the beginning of October, three suspected Hamas terrorists were arrested in Berlin, accused by the Federal Prosecutor General of planning an attack. Now explosive details are coming to light: the warning apparently came from the Israeli secret service Mossad. German authorities then spent months tailing the suspects, observing them and tapping their phones. Finally, they were able to arrest several men and seize firearms. Possibly just in time, as our reconstruction shows.” 

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler presentation during webinar: “Since the Taliban’s 2021 takeover, Afghanistan has become a terrorism hub, hosting Al-Qaeda, TTP, and others despite regime denials. This seminar examines the Taliban’s role in transnational threats, cross-border ambitions, and ideological ties to Hamas in Gaza and HTS in Syria. Convened by Bareen Initiative for Development (BID), it fosters evidence-based dialogue among experts and policymakers to counter extremism.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler appointed to new German government Task Force. “The Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) is replacing its advisors in the fight against Islamism. The previous Task Force on Islamism Prevention, which began its work under the previous government in October 2024, will be further developed in terms of content and reorganized in terms of personnel, the ministry announced on Friday.”

A new permanent advisory board on the prevention of Islamism is being established at the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). This new group of experts replaces a task force founded only last year by former Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD). The board includes Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, Counter Extremism Project.
