Philadelphia – May 6, 2015 – The Middle East Forum announces Jihad Intel, a
project to provide U.S. law enforcement with detailed information on
violent Islamist groups.
Jihad Intel, http://jihadintel.meforum.org,
gives police tools to identify terrorists acting on behalf of Islam and to
connect the dots before a terrorist incident takes place.
Not only does the FBI admit that the threat of ISIS attacks in the West
is "not even close to being under control," but there are
hundreds more jihadi organizations, with new ones forming continually. Most
are active on social media, recruiting globally.
Each has its own identifying symbols. So, in response, Jihad Intel has
established a public, gratis database
of visual identifiers of over 125 Islamic terrorist groups – hundreds of
emblems, flags, headbands, graffiti, propaganda, social media tags and
other symbols used to incite Muslims to violence – with new groups and
identifiers added continually.
Jihad Intel also provides background information on each terrorist
organization, including a list of Western countries which have designated
the organization as terrorist.
Law Enforcement and interested citizens are encouraged to join a gratis mailing
list to receive intelligence bulletins on jihadist threats and
information about future training seminars.
This effort also responds to the Obama administration's removal of
references to Islam from law
enforcement and national
security training materials. "Political correctness impedes law
enforcement," notes Daniel Pipes, president of the Middle East Forum,
"but we empower the police to safeguard Americans from jihadis."

Al-Tamimi serves as Jihad Intel's research fellow. Fluent in Arabic, he
has become the go-to source for intelligence on jihadists in Syria, Iraq
and beyond. He recently testified before the House of Commons Defence Committee
(UK). Major
media sources have cited, quoted or interviewed Al-Tamimi more than a
hundred times over the past year – including eight times by the Washington Post.
