According to Hans-Jakob Schindler of the research organization "Counter Extremism Project," Qaradawi was "generally regarded as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood."

To examine the causes of this threatening dynamic, the European Institute for Counter-Terrorism and Conflict Prevention (EICTP) hosted a meeting at the Novotel Berlin Mitte on the morning of June 3. The "European Trend Report on Terrorism" was presented in the Potsdamer Platz conference room. Numerous security experts, analysts, and risk managers listened intently to the presentations of Hans-Jakob Schindler, Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project, and Austrian terrorism researcher Dr. Nicolas Stockhammer. The security policy panel was moderated by retired Colonel Ralph Thiele, who also regularly contributes  to Cicero .

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed: "Extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler says, while the perpetrator of the German Christmas market attack had been uniquely radicalised, they have been becoming more common since COVID-19."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Robert Jenrick is continuing to annoy all the right people. This weekend he turned his focus to the appalling attacks on front line prison staff, including by terrorists, that have left dozens of wounded, maimed and traumatised officers struggling to contain the threat in our High Security prisons.

Jenrick asked me to produce a rapid analysis of the current terror threat drawing on my experience as a former government reviewer of the UK threat and my work around the world on managing highly dangerous people. While this paper could not have access to the ongoing official review, I did think I had enough expertise to add to the debate. The criminal justice commentariat were apoplectic. Why?"

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson: "I was asked by the shadow justice secretary to undertake a rapid review of the current threat to prison officers in general and those maimed by terrorists in particular. I was given no terms of reference, no steer and no interference at all in my full analysis which will be published online this afternoon. Jenrick is a politician for a party I used to be part of. Notwithstanding the politics, I believe him to be sincere in his concern about public servants who are closer to being murdered on duty by fanatics than at any time in the last 25 years."

At first glance, such groups give the impression that they organize primarily through social networks, says Alexander Ritzmann, head of the right-wing extremism department at the Counter Extremism Project and FDP interior affairs expert until 2006. But that is often not the case.

According to terrorism expert for the Counter Extremism Project, Riza Kumar, Mr. Kony was nearly captured by Russian mercenaries in the Central African Republic before reportedly fleeing towards Sudan in April last year. “Kony presumably remains at large around Kafia Kingi, the border area between Sudan and South Sudan,” she tells the Sun.

The globally renowned Counter Extremism Project has recently reported that “within the past few decades, several hundred Canadian civilians have been killed or injured in incidents related to violent extremism,” and that, in spite of the glib posturing and “apparent policy shifts in the Trudeau government, Canada has historically viewed violent Islamist extremism as one of the leading threats to its national security.”

A British man was arrested this week for plowing his car into a massive crowd in Liverpool, following a victory parade for the city’s soccer team. He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and attempted murder.

At least 80 people were wounded in the incident, officials said.

In this week’s episode of “The Hunt with WTOP National Security Correspondent J.J. Green, Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, the senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, said the incident highlights glaring security failures.

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Scindler interviewed: "Syria remains a dangerous refuge for Islamist fighters – despite shifts in power, the HTS militia controls large areas, radical foreigners continue to incite hatred online, recruit for jihad, and could also threaten Europe."
