Anti-Institutional Extremism: Causes and Responses is an ICCT podcast series that explores forms of extremism that oppose the government and the perceived oppression from a globalised elite, often fueled by conspiracy narratives and disinformation. This series analyses what anti-institutional extremism looks like in North America and Europe today, and how it can be addressed and countered — through conversations with practitioners, academics, and policy-makers.

It’s a story about national identity and reckoning, mirroring the story of Germany itself. And years later, it’s still unfolding — raising a question that democracies across the world are waking up to: What happens when the threat is coming from within?

As part of the Program on Extremism from George Washington University and hosted by Dr. Omar Mohammed, "36 Minutes on Antisemitism" is a five-season interactive bi-monthly podcast that explores the contemporary dynamics of antisemitism across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. This series engages with practitioners, policymakers, and scholars dedicated to studying and combating antisemitism.

Countering and preventing terrorism is a primary concern for state and local law enforcement agencies and the federal government. Terrorists are those who support or commit ideologically motivated violence to further political, social or religious goals. The goal of NIJ’s work on terrorism is to provide community leaders with evidence-based practices for bolstering resilience and developing communitywide responses that can prevent and mitigate terrorist threats.

As part of the Program on Extremism from George Washington University, this podcast is hosted by Omar Mohammed, written by Haroro Ingram, with audio editing by Andrew Mines. When the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or Daesh) captured Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul in 2014, it heralded a period of unimaginable terror and destruction. A young man named Omar, writing under the penname of ‘Mosul Eye’, secretly reported from the besieged city unveiling to the world apocalyptic scenes as militants desperately searched for him.
