"« Il est important que l’on projette de juger des femmes “retournées” [rapatriées], non seulement pour appartenance à l’EI mais pour les crimes contre les yézidis », commente Sofia Koller, de l’ONG américaine Counter Extremism Project. "
 

"Briefs filed by Sen. Josh Hawley (R–Mo.), the Counter Extremism Project, and a group of former national security officials argue that the tech companies that spread illegal content through an algorithm should not be covered by Section 230... The Counter Extremism Project claims that Google intentionally “promote[s] divisive, extremist content to generate revenue” with non-neutral algorithms and thus should not be shielded by Section 230 for those recommendations. "

"The TTP also links with the Afghan Taliban and terrorist group Al Qaeda, notes think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP).

The CEP says, 'As an ally of the Afghan Taliban, the TTP also fought the US-backed Afghan government prior to the latter’s defeat in August 2021. The TTP was founded in late 2007 by a group of Pakistani militants who had previously fought in Afghanistan alongside both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and the group has maintained close ties to both organizations since.'"

"He helped build the group's operational capacity and trained some of the hijackers who took part in the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States, according to the US Counter Extremism Project."

"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."
