On Thursday, December 16, 2010 the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Program hosted a discussion on the WORDE report, “A Community Based Approach to Countering Radicalization,” and its implications for policymakers in the White House and the 112th Congress.

On March 3, Hudson Institute hosted a successful event to launch the new book, “The Other Muslims: Moderate and Secular.” This compilation is edited by Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Eurasian Policy Zeyno Baran. “The Other Muslims” is a unique collection of essays by moderate Muslims from Europe and the United States, with varied backgrounds in academia, theology, performing arts, and civic activism. They write convincingly that by ignoring the politico-ideological threat Islamists pose, with their narrow interpretation of Islam, Westerners place democracy and universal human rights at grave risk.

January 12, 2010, Washington, DC US House Representative Sue Myrick talks with mainstream Muslim leaders including WORDE President Hedieh Mirahmadi and Specialist Zeyno Baran about the rise of homegrown, radical terrorism, and the importance of having a mainstream Muslim voice in the conversation about terrorism in America.
