“... What does that mean? Although he does not know the internal decision-making processes in the Russian Foreign Ministry, says Hans-Jakob Schindler from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) in The Hague. However, it can be assumed that Russia expects "something in return" for the offer to remove the Taliban from the terror list. However, that could cause problems: "The Taliban are always very willing to accept advance payments, but if there is something in return, things get very complicated with them." The German Afghanistan expert Thomas Ruttig sees the Kremlin's initiative as "a kind of salami tactic: very small steps towards official recognition - which the Taliban certainly likes." The next step after being removed from the terror list could be the recognition of the Taliban as a legitimate state power in Afghanistan, experts believe.”

“The fact that Stürzenberger was now on the Mannheim marketplace with his information stand is probably no coincidence, says extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), who comes from Kaiserslautern: "There is a large Turkish Muslim community in Mannheim and Ludwigshafen. An event and an information stand of Pax Europa in this place of all places should also be understood as a deliberate provocation." He could imagine that the association wanted to consciously accept unpleasant scenes and possible quarrels with passers-by in order to create appropriate images and create a mood on the Internet. "Of course, this does not justify a knife attack in any way," says Schindler in conversation with this editorial office.”

"The AfD’s woes – also including spying claims against a Krah aide and a police raid on number-two candidate Petr Bystron – mean its campaign is 'pretty much collapsing', said Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Counter Extremism Project.

The usual far-right strategy is to 'point out the inefficiencies of the system, link that to what they call an uncontrolled immigration problem, and essentially undermine trust in the established institutions', he told The National."

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?
On this week’s episode of 'The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green', Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project, says it’s complicated."

"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."
