CEP Senior Advisor Edmund Fitton-Brown quoted: "'They are generally more war-like, violent and cruel,' says Edmund Fitton-Brown, who was UK ambassador to Yemen from 2015-17.
'I encountered astonishing instances of brutality in Aden and Taiz. The Houthis consider themselves an elite from an elite (the Zaidi sect). Some of their casual viciousness towards Sunni civilians in central and southern Yemen has been remarkable: a readiness to deploy snipers and kill non-combatants for fun.'"

"A Manhattan jury convicted Jacobs of three felony counts of providing support for an act of terrorism, as well as conspiracy, money laundering and criminal possession of a weapon. The NGO Counter Extremism Project lists Victoria Jacobs, aka Bakhrom Talipov, as an "extremist leader," and it says she may have been providing information to terrorists since 2018."

"Germany can only keep repeatedly raising this, Hans-Jakob Schindler, analyst for the Middle East at the nonprofit organization Counter Extremism Project, told DW. Israeli resettlement plans for the Gaza Strip, which two Israeli cabinet ministers publicly support, would be 'the surest way to securely anchor Islamist extremism in the future in Gaza, and probably among Palestinians in general,' Schindler believes."

CEP Managing Director Madeleine Joelson and CEP Managing Director Daniel Roth write: "The United Kingdom just banned Hizb-ut Tahrir (HT), an extremist Islamist group with affiliates in at least 32 countries, including the United States, that calls for re-establishing the Islamic Caliphate and implementing Sharia (Islamic law). Given its outsized role in radicalizing several convicted terrorists, including notorious ISIS executioner “Jihadi John,” HT Britain has a far more notorious reputation than its still-active Transatlantic cousin, HT America."

"Women’s traditional roles within ISIS have made it hard for some returnees to understand why they were prosecuted, wrote Sofia Koller, a senior research analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit organisation based in New York. In the chapter on Germany, Ms Koller quotes one woman as saying: 'I only cooked, had babies, was sitting the whole day in a madafa [a women’s guest house] and then married the next one.'"

"Germany can only insist on that connection over and over again, Hans-Jakob Schindler, a Middle East expert at the international organization Counter Extremism Project, told DW. Israeli repopulation plans in the Gaza Strip, proposed by two members of the Israeli cabinet, would be 'the best recipe for Islamist extremism to take firm root in the future among Palestinians in Gaza and probably beyond.'"

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler: "Combating Hamas militarily must not only be a goal. Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler also demands that the sources of income of the terrorist organization, which has an extensive support network, be effectively prevented."

"Hans-Jacob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), said ammonium nitrate – which is also used as a fertilizer - is the “'explosive of choice' for making quick and cheap improvised explosive devices.

Overall, Schindler believes there are around 10,000 people in Germany who 'broadly agree with what Hamas does and are willing to take part in demonstrations, raise funds and share propaganda.'

Asked if Hamas’ presence would expand in the wake of the October 7 attacks, Schindler said: 'Yes, it has grown already.'"

"The Houthis are described by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an organisation which works to combat extremist groups and ideologies, as 'an Iranian-backed, Shiite Muslim armed religious and political movement in Yemen'."
