Help Us Continue Our Research On Extremism

Extremism remains a threat to moderate and secure societies around the world. But thanks to the generous financial support of our supporters, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) and its experts are able to pursue independent, rigorous research and lead policy discussions on new trends and emerging dangers. These programs are much needed in the ongoing debates about extremism—with the hope of contributing to a more secure and prosperous future.

This year, CEP published groundbreaking research on the radicalization and recruitment process of foreign fighters for ISIS, the repatriation and prosecution of women that left Europe for ISIS-controlled territory, as well as the participation of extremist foreign fighters in the Russia-Ukraine war and strategies to mitigate the threats these fighters pose once they return home.

We offered more than a dozen web events featuring experts at the leading edge of understanding violence-oriented right-wing extremist and terrorist networks, Islamist ideology and jihadism, the capabilities of ISIS and al-Qaeda, and the integration of foreign fighters into military and paramilitary structures in Ukraine.

CEP also located hundreds of examples of white supremacist, antisemitic, and terrorist content online. In each case, CEP reported its findings to online platforms, which led to the removal of messaging channels posting bomb-making instructions, a neo-Nazi edition of an infamous antisemitic book, and an online clothing shop that was selling merchandise to financially benefit an Austrian neo-Nazi rapper.

CEP’s research is informing how the public, policymakers, the private sector, and civil society actors think about and respond to the threat of global extremism. Your support for CEP is essential to continuing this work. Please consider renewing your tax-deductible support or joining our community of financial supporters today.
