"European Eye on Radicalization (EER) was pleased to host a joint event with the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) recently about how Western states have handled domestic extremists and terrorists, the far-Right and Islamists."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "In the past, without social media and the internet, if you had some wacky conspiratorial idea, until you actually found someone who held the same beliefs, it was a real effort. You had to go to conventions to meet them, you had to travel. Now all you do is you turn on your computer and Facebook, or Instagram, or Twitter, or TikTok, the algorithm helps you to find them...
The way these platforms are set up is to make you as the user happy and stay on the platform by giving you what you want, not confronting you with uncomfortable, other opinions—not broaden your horizon, narrow your horizon..."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Shawcross found a prevalence of ‘extreme antisemitism’ in the Channel cases he dip sampled. What’s striking is that antisemitism is an equal opportunities hatred. It is mobilised by extreme left, right and Islamist ideologues and their followers. Perhaps this explains a pre-eminence of obsessive, ‘fanatical’ violent hatred towards Jews in the cases he examined – behaviour that included the professed desire to murder and bomb Jews and the burning of synagogues."

"'The presence of al-Qaida in Iran is a sort of a chip that the Iranians have,' said Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior United Nations counterterrorism official who is now an adviser to the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project.

'They're not entirely sure how or when they might play it but … it was something that they considered to have potential value,' Fitton-Brown told VOA, adding that al-Adel running the terror group from Tehran is 'not that big a change from what the situation was before Zawahiri was killed.'

'Al-Qaida has always been a consultative organization,' he said. 'They have a Shura, a leadership, and Saif was already part of it. He was already a very important voice in that leadership. He's now a more important voice in that leadership.'"

CEP Strategic Advisor Liam Duffy writes: "In his independent review of Prevent, published last week, William Shawcross came to the same conclusion: the overemphasis on vulnerability in the process of radicalisation strips individuals of their agency, obscures reality and sucks the politics out of political violence."

"There is an absence of data on violent right-wing extremists' financial strategies in many countries because there has been an absence of targeted and systematic law enforcement investigations. There has not yet been enough current and in-depth analysis of the right-wing extremist terror and organised crime nexus in the same way those links have been identified in Islamist extremism, said Alexander Ritzmann, a senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project in Berlin."

"Research by the Counter Extremism Project found that police sources had been told that the Abedis had to have known that Hashem and Salman were becoming more radical. After the attack, a mutual friend said the pair had discussed and expressed support for Isis."

"Think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP) says, 'The group’s ideology blends Islamism and Palestinian nationalism and seeks the destruction of Israel and the creation of an Islamic state between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River...Hamas’s preferred methods include suicide bombings, rocket and mortar attacks, shootings, and kidnappings.'"

CEP Research Analyst Gregory Waters writes: "In the center of Harem, Idlib, hundreds of Syrian families huddle around stoves and in tents as they look on at the row of collapsed apartments they used to call home. “This disaster hasn’t happened to Syria in a thousand years,” says Abu Ahmed, the director of the new camp. “The international community must witness what is happening to us and help.” Yet despite the scores of international aid flights that have landed in Damascus, and Thursday’s visit to Aleppo by the head of the United Nations’ World Food Program, the first U.N. aid trucks did not reach opposition-held Syria until Saturday afternoon. Just 22 trucks arrived at the Bab al-Hawa crossing, and it took until late Saturday for the first convoys from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar to arrive in north Aleppo. No other international NGOs have yet sent aid."

"The think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP) says the 2016 Nice attack launched a wave of vehicular terrorist attacks around the world. It also says that Hamas is among the terrorist groups engaging in vehicular terrorist attacks."
