Much of this clandestine activity is officially conducted under the auspices of "Countering Violent Extremism" (CVE) campaigns. A counter-terror strategy concocted by London, the program was forcibly exported across much of the world in the wake of the events of 9/11.
Core practical components of CVE doctrine include multi-channel on- and offline propaganda blitzes via ostensibly "independent" media and social media assets, the creation of "astroturf" NGOs and campaign groups, and funding community leaders to publicly perpetuate pre-approved "counter-narratives" intended to dent the purported appeal of extremist messaging in Muslim communities.
British state sponsorship is never disclosed, and participants themselves are frequently unaware they are being exploited in this manner.
In other cases, they are witting, although might not admit it. The globally-read Imams Online claims to be "a voice, information and career placement initiative aimed at prospective Islamic leaders, Imams, Chaplains, Alims, and Aalimah's."
"We aim to provide the necessary information to aspiring Muslim leaders that will enable and encourage them to become the future beacons of the communities they serve," the website states.
Comment: It can't be overstated: the mass upheaval we're seeing is only going to get worse. And then far worse. Prepare for some very challenging times as best you can, now.
