CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes; "The bomb, planted overnight, was detonated by remote control. The terrorists must have known who was on that boat and then have concluded that the party that included Paul, 15, who was a member of the crew, and another teenager (Nicholas Knatchbull, 14) had lives that were worth discarding to get Mountbatten, along with that of his 83-year-old grandmother, Lady Brabourne."

"The Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based non-profit, has observed that anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments are shared by both Islamist and far-right extremists. Mark D. Wallace, the project’s chief executive, noted the unsettling alliance between neo-Nazis and jihadis based on their mutual disdain for the LGBTQ+ community."

"'It is no surprise that neo-Nazis and jihadis often express mutual admiration for their shared anti-gay visions,' Mark D Wallace, chief executive of the Counter Extremism Project, said in a statement."

"How will the death of Iran’s president Ebrahim Raisi impact stability in the region?

"The Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based non-profit group, noted that anti-LGBTQ ideas had been taken up by both Islamist and far-right extremists."

“Only one third of Hamas terrorists eliminated, two thirds of their tunnels still intact. According to a report by the magazine "Politico" analysts of the US intelligence services come to this assessment. The Islamists are also said to have succeeded in recruiting a large number of new fighters in recent months. On Sunday, Hamas also proved that it is still able to fire rockets at the greater Tel Aviv area. This is all bad news for Israel. After almost eight months of war, the country seems to miss one of its main goals: the complete destruction of Hamas.” 

"A report from the Counter Extremism Project counted at least 69 confirmed attacks by IS in Syria in April alone.

The attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 84 Syrian regime soldiers and fighters and 44 civilians, and more than doubled the total number of confirmed IS operations for all of 2024."

"As the Counter Extremism Project notes: 'The Islamic Republic of Iran has aggressively sought to remake the Middle East under its dominion, mainly by anchoring loyal 'proxies' in the region.'"

"'The current terrorist threat to Europe is very large, as there is an intersection of a series of disconnected but unfortunately mutually reinforcing events,' says Hans-Jakob Schindler, director of the Berlin-New York-based Counter-Extremism Project."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson: "The Prime Minister knows, rain or shine, the only place to make the case for things that matter to him and to the nation is outside his front door. His previous foray, then in fairer weather, took place on March 1 in the aftermath of George Galloway’s election victory when he warned democracy was being targeted by extremists who hijacked the political process and protests to undermine democratic values."
