“... Schindler is a terrorism expert and director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). " Cars were used on Christmas in Magdeburg and on New Year's Day in New Orleans. So it's not totally surprising that another car attack has been attempted," he says. According to the vice president of the Munich police headquarters, Christian Huber, the suspected attack in Munich happened like this: At around 10:30 a.m., a 24-year-old man drove behind the demonstration in his car, overtook a police car protecting the group, accelerated - and drove into the back of the demonstration.”

“Many people are still surprised by the power that the so-called big techs have been accumulating in the “globalized” world. In the second Trump administration, this became more than explicit. A report by Forum, in fact, showed that the wealth of millionaires increased three times faster in 2024, all of them owners of technology companies, according to the Oxfam report "At whose expense? – The origin of wealth and the construction of injustice in colonialism”, in addition to giving in advance the direct millionaire investment of the owners of big techs to the inauguration of the Republican president… Algorithms that lead people to extremism: The dossier mentions a study by the Counter Extremism Project, which exposes how YouTube's algorithm favors disinformation, conspiracy theories and extremism. The same occurs with Twitter, TikTok and Meta.”

CEP Non-Resident Fellow Ari Heistein writes: "Some analysts have suggested that assassinating Abdul-Malik al-Houthi would lead to organizational collapse and thereby eliminate the threat. It is common practice, to the point of being cliché, for analysts to make a very generic but concrete policy prescription that boils down to “kill the guy in charge and all your problems with the group are solved.” But the reality is that the Houthi movement has become institutionalized, which makes it more organizationally resilient, and it has not been significantly disrupted by high-level assassinations in the past. So, while eliminating the Houthi leader would be a welcome development, it is unlikely in and of itself to provide a comprehensive solution to the threats posed by the group."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: "A leading counter-terrorism expert has called for urgent reforms in Germany following three attacks in as many months, with the latest suspected terror incident unfolding in Munich on Thursday. The expert's comments come after a car rammed into protesters in central Munich - leaving 28 people injured. Two people are fighting for their lives and 26 others were injured after a Mini Cooper ploughed into a crowd of trade union protesters in Munich. Speaking to GB News, Hans Jakob Schindler said: "Clearly, there is a very tragic situation in Germany. "We had now three attacks in three months, one in December by someone who's been living here in Germany for many, many years was an anti-islamist.”

"Yet according to a June 2024 report from the Counter-Extremism Project, the situation remained as bad as ever: “The regime oversees and controls every aspect of humanitarian work in their territory: determining beneficiary lists, providing permits for any movements of aid organizations’ personnel, and deciding which local entities are eligible to serve as contractors, local implementation partners, or third-party monitors for humanitarian projects.”"
