US counterjihadism operates through professional advocacy organizations rather than street movements

Evidence

In organizational terms, the North American counterjihad movement is quite different from its European counterpart. It is dominated by professionalized advocacy organizations that are often well resourced and well connected. One key organization is the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a Washingtonbased thinktank run by former Reagan administration official Frank Gaffney. The CSP produces alarmist literature alleging Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the US government, a ‘green scare’ reminiscent of the anti-communist hysteria of the Cold War-era ‘red scare’. … Another thinktank is the David Horowitz Freedom Center, which sponsors Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch blog. — A.
