The Clarion Project (formerly Clarion Fund Inc.) is an American nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that was founded in 2006.^[1]^[2] The organization has been involved in the production and distribution of the films Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America and Iranium. These films have been criticized by some for allegedly falsifying information and described as anti-Muslim propaganda.^[3]^[4] The organization publishes a weekly "Extremism Roundup" newsletter.^[5]

Mission and leadership

Clarion Project states its mission is to expose and reduce the threats of extremism to create a safer world for all.^[6] The CEO as of 2022 is Richard Green.^[7] The project's advisory board included Raheel Raza^[8] president of Muslims Facing Tomorrow, Zuhdi Jasser president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) ^[9] and Michelle Baron. The project was founded by Raphael Shore.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]

Funding

The nonprofit Charity Navigator has rated the Clarion Project 4 out of 4 stars.^[14]

Criticism

The Southern Poverty Law Center listed the organization as an "anti-Muslim hate group" in 2016–2019.^[15] The U.S.-based Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American–Islamic Relations, stated that the Clarion Project is among 37 American organizations that promote Islamophobia in American society.^[16] The organization has been described as part of the counter-jihad movement.^[17]^[18]

Clarion previously employed security-analyst Ryan Mauro, who according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, has asserted that there were multiple "no-go zones" for non-Muslims across the U.K. and Europe and has spoken about the supposed rising number of Muslim enclaves across the U.S., governed by "gangs of Islamic extremists" enforcing the Shariah law.^[19]

In 2022 a speech by a Clarion Project co-founder was cancelled.^[20]

Films

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West (2005)
The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America (2008)
Iranium (2011) - about Iran's nuclear weapons program
Honor Diaries (2013) - about violence against women^[21]
Faithkeepers (2017) - about Christians in the Middle East^[22]
Kids: Chasing Paradise (2019) - about child soldiers^[23]
Covert Cash (2020) - about foreign funding of US colleges^[24]^[25]
