A new piece for Focus on Western Islamism examines how activists can use accusations of bigotry and victimhood narratives to shut down criticism of jihadist violence and extremist politics. When intimidation replaces debate, democratic societies lose the ability to confront dangerous ideas honestly.

FWI's managing editor Dexter Van Zile documents how activists and their allies at a New York City press conference, reframed the narrative about Islamist violence—casting themselves as victims while ignoring rhetoric and movements that openly endorse violence against Jews and the destruction of Israel.

The response of Jewish leaders to a death threat against Palestinian-American activist Nerdeen Kiswani stands in marked contrast to the response of Muslim groups to Islamist-perpetrated attacks.

In a new interview, Israel Team's Aaron Fruh and Dexter Van Zile, managing editor of Focus on Western Islamism, dissect a NYC press conference organized by the Muslim American Society during which activists demanded protection from violence while downplaying or denying the atrocities of October 7—revealing a striking double standard and absence of moral clarity.

Britain’s universities didn’t become hostile to Jewish students overnight—they were captured by Islamist networks working alongside far-left activists, turning campuses into spaces where anti-Jewish hatred and even support for terrorist groups are increasingly normalized.

This isn’t about free speech—it’s about an ideological ecosystem that has made hostility toward Jews acceptable; read the full report:

The story sounds unbelievable—until you read the evidence.

A new investigation reveals that the LDS Church didn’t just stumble into bad partnerships—it repeatedly collaborated with organizations tied to Hamas, including direct engagement with entities connected to Hamas’s own Ministry of Health.

We’re not talking about one mistake. We’re talking about:

Funding networks linked to Hamas-controlled institutions
Working with charities that signed contracts with Hamas officials
Continuing these relationships even after terror connections were exposed

And when confronted? Denial. Deflection. Silence.

At some point, this stops looking like negligence and starts looking like willful blindness.

Humanitarian aid should never become a pipeline for extremist influence. Yet that’s exactly what happens when institutions refuse transparency and accountability.

If the LDS Church wants credibility, it needs to stop attacking critics—and start answering questions.

Because right now, the question is simple:

How much more “charity” money ended up empowering terror-aligned networks?

Focus on Western Islamism Managing Editor Dexter Van Zile recently joined Luke Moon on Luke Reacts for a wide-ranging discussion on the ideological and cultural challenges facing the West.

The conversation begins with the recent wave of terrorist attacks in the United States, including the attempted attack on a synagogue in suburban Detroit, and expands into a broader analysis of Islamist incitement and the growing normalization of anti-Israel and anti-Western narratives.

Van Zile also discusses the Dhimmitude Project, an initiative examining the historical subjugation of non-Muslims under Islamic rule and its modern echoes in Western societies. The interview explores how fear, intimidation, and institutional reluctance to confront Islamist ideology have contributed to a culture of submission—what Van Zile describes as a form of “social death.”

The discussion further examines the role of the Red-Green alliance, the convergence between Islamist movements and segments of the progressive left, and how this dynamic shapes public discourse and policy in Western democracies.

In a new interview on Proclaiming Justiceto the Nations, Focus on Western Islamism Managing Editor Dexter Van Zile breaks down the propaganda playbook reshaping public discourse across the West.

Speaking with Laurie Cardoza-Moore at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Van Zile exposes the rise of antisemitic and anti-Israel narratives among Christian influencers, the growing influence of Islamist networks in Western democracies, and the continued failure of elites to confront these threats head-on.

The conversation also tackles Dearborn, campus radicalization after October 7, Qatar’s role in amplifying anti-Western messaging, and the broader ideological challenge facing the U.S. and Europe.

U.K. High Court deals a blow to efforts to criminalize offensive speech: judges rejected prosecutors’ attempt to overturn the acquittal of activist Hamit Coskun, ruling that burning a Qur’an—however offensive—is protected expression and that “there is no offense of blasphemy” in British law.

It took a while, but the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) finally acknowledged the violence perpetrated by the mullahs in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has cost the lives of up to 30,000 protesters. But CAIR, which portrays itself as a defender of human rights overseas and civil liberties of Muslims in the U.S., still couldn’t muster much outrage over the brutal killings.
