CEP Report Launch | Gradualists to Jihadists: Islamist Narratives in the West

Thursday, Dec 10, 2020

On December 10, 2020, CEP launched a new report: "Gradualists to Jihadists: Islamist Narratives in the West" 

The author of the report, CEP Advisor Liam Duffy, examines why Islamism should be treated as political ideology and calls for greater attention to be paid to the political narratives of Islamist groups in preventing violent extremism.

Practitioners and policymakers working in counterterrorism can use the tools provided in this report to recognize, and counter the narratives that are common to Islamist groups across the spectrum, from non-violent ‘gradualists’ to violent jihadists. 

Speakers:
Liam Duffy, Advisor to CEP
Lucinda Creighton, Senior Advisor to CEP in Europe, former Europe Minister

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
