“Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna cancelled - this has put the 'Islamic State' in the headlines around the world. This is 'a clear signal to sympathizers and donors that we are still active,' says Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project.”

"The U.S.-led responses have been 'meticulously proportionate,' said Fitton-Brown, now a senior adviser for the New York and Berlin-based Counter Extremism Project.

'We need to be more determined and creative about what to do about this,' he said. 'We are looking at a de facto authority, and a de facto authority has fixed points you can attack.'"

“After the cancellation of the Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna because of an Islamist attack plan, concerns are growing about a further terrorist threat in Europe. But how great is the threat from Islamists? ntv speaks to terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler.”

Former prison governor Ian Acheson, an adviser to think tank the Counter Extremism Project, told the BBC he was “completely against” terrorism charges being considered. He said: 'I think giving these people an ideological justification for what they’ve done is profoundly dangerous. These are common criminals. These are people who’ve tried to incinerate human beings in hotels. They have looted vape shops, they’ve burned down libraries. There’s no ideological coherence behind any of that. 'These are common thugs, and they need to be treated as such, as they were back in 2011, and they need to be given exemplary sentences, because there’s a lot of debate to be had about the societal drivers for all of this, but for now the state has to get back in control.'”

"On this week’s episode of “The Hunt with WTOP National Security Correspondent J.J. Green”, Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, said that it must haven a “serious” situation that led to the cancellation of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna."

"Edmund Fitton-Brown, a former senior United Nations counterterrorism official who is a senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, a non-governmental organisation, warned it appeared to be getting 'harder and harder to prevent escalation each time'."

"In fact, Sinwar had the most influence within the terrorist organization, even though Haniya held the political leadership position on paper. "As a result of the attack on October 7, the Hamas leadership in Gaza took actual control of the terrorist group," explains Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project."

"'They took advantage of the massive flow of refugees from Ukraine to get into the Schengen area. Once you are in Poland, there are no further border controls. And in the situation where there is war in Ukraine, it is of course much easier to insert a handful of people into this flow of refugees without anyone noticing,' says Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international non-profit organization Counter Extremism Project."

“The neo-Nazi group The Base is recruiting leaders to form new cells in the United States of America. The information was transmitted by the group's leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, through messages on his private Telegram channel, cited by the British newspaper The Guardian. […] However, despite the similarities with other neo-Nazi groups — such as the international Proud Boys or the Portuguese 1143 — accelerationist groups tend to keep a lower profile, rather than promoting public demonstrations, Joshua Fisher-Birch explained to the British newspaper. The analyst, who works at the Counter Extremism Project , argued that “their focus on promoting chaos raises the possibility that they could encourage violence or commit acts of intimidation ahead of the elections.””
