CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed about a German Islamist influencer on TikTok: “Former boxer Hanna Hansen promotes an ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on social media and maintains contacts within the German Salafist scene. What makes her videos so appealing? A conversation with journalist Joseph Röhmel.”

"While only a small minority of Muslims are Salafis, most Muslim violent extremist movements — including Al Qaeda — are rooted in Salafism, a fundamentalist Islamic movement based on 13th and 14th century teachings, according to the Minerva Research Initiative, a research program of the Defense Department, and the Counter-Extremism Project, a nonpartisan international policy organization."
