QuilliamFoundationThe Quilliam Foundation is a controversial London based 'counter-extremism' think-tank which

claims to challenge Islamic extremism in the UK. It was set up by self-styled ex-extremistsMaajid Nawaaz, Ed Husain and Rashad Ali, all former members of the political Islamic group,

Hizb ut-Tahrir. Incorporated as a limited company on 20 November 2007, it was launched on 22

April 2008, receiving much media attention. According to the BBC's Newsnight, the Foundation,backed by the British government, is waging the 'ideas' part of the so-called 'war on terror'. It has

links to neoconservative initiatives such as the Centre for Social Cohesion and Harry's Place. In

2009 it launched Khudi a project targeting Pakistan.[1]

The think tank has been embroiled inseveral controversies since its founding for encouraging domestic spying and preparing secret

blacklists of citizens and groups that it alleges share the 'ideology of terrorists.'[2][3] Although the

exact funding figure is unknown, the Quilliam Foundation has reportedly received 700,000 aspart of the government's Preventing Violent Extremism Programme, 400,000 of which was

given by the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT).[2]

The Quilliam Name

The foundation takes its name from Abdullah Quilliam, a 19th Century British convert to Islam

who founded a mosque in Liverpool. This is an ironic choice since Abdullah Quilliam was an

opponent of the British Empire and a supporter of the Caliphate. He also argued that Muslims

should not fight Muslims on behalf of European powers, citing specifically Britains enlistmentof Muslim soldiers against the resistance in Sudan. In all these respects his activities correspond

to those that the individuals running the Quilliam Foundation today hold up as evidence of

extremism.[4]

.

Relationship with Centre for Social Cohesion

Until late 2009 Quilliam Foundation enjoyed a close relationship with the Centre for Social

Cohesion. Together their members run The Spittoon, whose future now remains uncertain amidthe public split between the two think-tanks. On October 23 2009, Douglas Murray of CfSC

accused Ed Husain of holding 'extreme views...quite appallingly illiberal'

[5]

after the Quilliamdirector had taken a position supporting spying on innocent people.

The piece generated a war of words between supporters of the two think-tanks in the article's

comments section.[7] The attack may have been instigated by an earlier article by James Brandonof Quilliam in which he attacked Murray, his former employer. In the article Brandon listed

Murray as one of the leading 'preachers of hate', one of the right's 'non-violent extremists' whohas 'routinely demonised Muslims collectively'. He accused Murray of failing to 'distinguish

Islam from Islamism'. Of his resignation from CSC he wrote:

Low key government support

Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain wrote in Guardian Online's Comment is

Free blog, that the Department for Communities and Local Government had hinted to UKIslamic groups that if they were prepared to work with the Quilliam Foundation, they could

obtain financial support from the government:

At the Foundation's launch, advisor Abdel-Aziz Al-Bukhari reportedly argued in his speech thatMuslims should 'love, obey and respect' the government[10]. Former ambassador Craig Murray

sees a party-political reason behind the New Labour government's support of the Foundation. He

has described it as 'the branch of New Labour tasked with securing the Muslim vote andreducing British Muslim dissatisfaction with New Labour over the invasions of Iraq and

Afghanistan.'[11]

Activities

The Foundation's first publication, "Pulling Together to Defeat Terror: Recommendations forUprooting Islamic Extremism", says that if Muslim leaders "must realise that the foreign policyof the British government will not be held hostage by any one community," and argued that the

editors of "liberal newspapers" should "think twice before allowing column space to Hamas and

its supporters while they remain committed to the destruction of Israel".[12]

One of the Foundation's key aims is to cast doubt on the link between British foreign policy and

the rise of extremism. In so doing the Foundation is fighting not only the consensus of the British

and US intelligence communities and much ofthe security establishment, but also the empiricalevidence from experts such as Robert Pape.[13] While the Foundation is remarkably amenable to

the neoconservative worldview, it shows little tolerance for Muslims in mainstream politics who

do not, as advisor Shaikh Abdel-Aziz Al-Bukhari has suggested, 'love, obey and respect thegovernment'. The Foundation has also tried to scuttle the political career of Osama Saeed, theSNP candidate for Glasgow Central, by accusing him of 'promoting religious separatism' and

alleging that he does not understand 'basic democratic principles' because he once expressed

amazement when one of Jack Straw's Blackburn constituents defended the former foreignsecretary by blaming Iraqis and Palestinians for their own plight.[14] The organization has also

recommended spying on Muslims unsuspected of any crimes, which led Jonathan Githens-Mazer

and Robert Lambert to note:

less unacceptable than others. The Foundation's lineup has since expanded to include suchveterans of neoconservative think tanks as James Brandon (formerly of the Centre for Social

Cohesion), who has also helped build bridges with such pro-war outlets as the notoriously

Islamophobic Harry's Place. Brandon used the McCarthyite website as a platform for his attackon CND for participating in an antiwar protest with a coalition which included among others the

British Muslim Initiative.

[16]

During his 2008 tour of the US, Majid Nawaz also spoke at theIsrael lobby think tankWashington Institute for Near East Policy[17]

. Nawaz also maintains tieswith Michael Jacobson ofWINEP who posted a response on behalf of Nawaz on the

Counterterrorism Blog, a website that devoted considerable coverage to his tour.[18] However,

Quilliam was also attacked by the blog's Jeffrey Imm[19], but it was in turn defended by two other

bloggers, Mark Levitt and Michael Jacobson, both associated with WINEP.[20]

Nawaz was in the US to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and

Governmental Affairs where he appeared along with Zeyno Baran of the neoconservative

Hudson Institute. He was also hosted by the Center for National Policy.[21][22]

TheQuestion

of

Palestine

The Foundation's views however are not entirely in line with that of the British government.Whereas Tony Blair had recognized the Israeli occupation of Palestine as the central issueexacerbating relations between the Muslim world and the West, in an FAQ the Foundation

tellingly presents the situation as an 'Arab-Israeli' conflict (to suggest parity), rather than a

military occupation (it does not use the word occupation once). It draws parity between the

Israeli military and Hamas, and while it has nothing to say about the crimes of the former, itaccuses the latter of 'politicking with the lives of ordinary Palestinians'. The response to the

question of Palestine ends with Muslims being encouraged to 'care about other conflicts and

issues in the world, including Burma, Darfur, climate change, poverty, and gender inequality.' [23]

DoubleStandardsThe Foundation is clearly discriminating in the the type of extremist views it wishes to proscribe.

While it opposed the UK government's ban on the extremist Dutch politician Geert Wilders (whoEd Husain described as 'undoubtedly an ill-informed, hate-driven bigot'), arguing that 'Banning

Geert Wilders from the UK is not the solution. Just as the ideas of non-violent Islamist groupslike Hizb ut-Tahrir should be tackled through debate and argument, so should those of Wilders

and others.'[24] However, three weeks later in March 2009, the Foundation intervened with the

Bradford Police, the Council, and the Community Centre where Hizb ut-Tahrir was holding apublic meeting in order to get it banned.[25] The Foundation has also attacked various British

figures for their links to Sheikh Qaradawi, yet it has been perfectly willing to publish its materialon Islamonline.net, despite the website's conspicuous connection to Qaradawi.[26]

FocusonPakistanIn the past year the Quilliam Foundation has turned its focus on Pakistan, hiring two newindividuals specifically for this. In April-May 2009 Foundation co-founder Maajid Nawaz went

places where he was hosted by Pervaiz Hoodbhoy, a pro-war academic. Nawaz wasaccompanied on his trip by a security team provided by the British Foreign Office. The tour

received sympathetic coverage from the BBC's Newsnight, which had a team accompany Nawaz

on the trip.[27]

In July 2009 the Foundation's co-founders went on another tour of Pakistan inpartnership with Bargad, a Pakistani NGO whose directorSabiha Shaheen arranged Nawaz's tour

of various universities on which she accompanied him.

[28][29]

According to Pakistani scholarAyesha Siddiqa, the organization also 'funded a conference of the vice-chancellors of variousPakistani universities to convince them of the project that [Majid] Nawaz later undertook' - i.e.,

to lecture their students against 'global jihad'.[30] The conference titled National Conference on

Peacebuilding and Women Leadership Development on Campuses, held 3-5 March 2009. The

conference invited Vice Chancellors and prominent faculty members from across the country toshare their views and experiences on various themes of the complex phenomenon of

radicalization. On 1 March 2010, it appeared Quilliam's activities in Pakistan finally bore fruit

when it announced that it will be hosting Tahir-ul-Qadri, a Pakistani cleric of mixed repute, tolaunch an anti-Terrorism fatwa (religious edict). Considering that the fatwa was supposedly

directed at Muslim jihadis, the choice of Westminster as launch venue was odd, since no militant

activity has been reported in the British parliament yet. Quilliam claims the fatwa would counterfatwas that preach otherwise.[31] The logic of such a move has been questioned by Brian

Whitaker of the Guardian among others, who argues that it would achieve no more than launch a

fatwa war.[32] The event was preceded by a PR campaign that included supportive articles from

Douglas Murray and Boris Johnson's ex-wife. Qadri used the occasion to engage in divisivesectarian politics by declaring Salafis and Deobandis outside of the Sunni tradition, adding:

'Every Salafi and Deobandi is not a terrorist but I have no hesitation in saying that everyone is a

well-wisher of terrorists and this has not been appreciated by the Western governments'.[33][34]

AttacksonMuslimOrganizations

The Quilliam Foundation has attacked various British Muslim organizations accusing them ofhaving ties with the Pakistani Jamaat-e-Islami and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, two

mainstream political parties with large followings in their respective countries. The organizations

which the foundation has targeted include Muslim Council of Britain, Islamic Forum Europe,Muslim Association of Britain, Islamic Foundation, Islamic Society of Britain, UK Islamic

Mission, the London Muslim Centre and Daawatul Islam.[35][36][37]

Ed Husain's contention that the government's Prevent strategy should target those who meet his

expansive definition of 'Islamist', whether they are suspected of violent extremism or not because

they "provide the mood music" for people like the July 7 bombers was criticized by JonathanGithens-Mazer and the former head of the Metropolitan Police's Muslim Contact Unit Robert

Lambert who noted that there was 'no credible evidence to support this view', but,

AgainstCivilLibertiesAfter it was revealed by the Guardian that the government's 'Prevent' programme to counter

radicalism was being used to gather intelligence on innocent people not suspected ofinvolvement in terrorism[39], Ed Husain defended the government's actions arguing that it was

'morally right'. 'It is gathering intelligence on people not committing terrorist offences. If it is toprevent people getting killed and committing terrorism, it is good and it is right', he told theGuardian. Of course, as the Guardian noted, the foundation has received 700,000 from the same

program.[40]. Interestingly, one of the strongest reactions Husain's comments elicited was from

Douglas Murray of the neoconservative Centre for Social Cohesion, who accused the Quilliam

director of holding 'extreme views'.

TheSpittoonWhile the Foundation under its own name employs press releases, alerts, and its contacts in the

media and politics to take on opponents, its members are also associated with the blog TheSpittoon where they attack critics anonymously in less temperate manner. Key targets have

included Inayat Banglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain[42] and Bob Pitt of Islamophobia

Watch[43].

Funding

On the day of the launch in May 2008 the director Maajid Nawaz told Newsnight: "We have

absolutely not received government money ,despite being offered it by the Preventing Violent

Extremism Pathfinder Fund, and we have said that it is not appropriate for us at the moment -although I would emphasise that I don't have a problem in principle in receiving taxpayers'

money for a good cause, as long as it comes with no strings attached."[44]. However, according to

The Times the government has underwritten the Foundation's operations to the tune of 1 million

in taxpayer money, despite the reservations of government and opposition members. Accordingto the story, the foundation is paying 'about 110,000 a year to rent offices at one of Central

Londons most prestigious addresses, which, for security reasons, have no name plate or signoutside'. The foundation's co-directors are believed to be receiving annual salaries of 85,000

each. [45].According to Ed Husain's evidence given to the Select Committee Hearing on

Preventing Violent Extremism, the Quilliam Foundation is in receipt of"about 850.000" of

government funding, per annum. [46]
