EUROPEAN POLICY CENTRE – COUNTER EXTREMISM PROJECT 1 PREFACE Interest in the nexus between crime and terror has increased in recent years. This is due in part to terror attacks in Europe carried out by individuals with a criminal history and in part to the large number of European foreign terrorist fighters with criminal backgrounds. This publication presents new research intended to help solve a deep-rooted and ever-evolving problem. It is the result of vigorous and fruitful cooperation between experts at the Counter Extremism Project and the European Policy Centre. We are grateful for the additional support from EPC in the production and design of this important report. The urgent need for the European Union to counter radicalisation in all its forms is clear, but the solutions are complex. We hope that readers will find the following chapters illuminating, and that decision makers use them to inform their policies. This report is a starting point for further deliberation on how to tackle the growing problem of the nexus between crime and terror in the European Union and its neighbourhood.

The Europe in the World Programme scrutinises the impacts of a changing international system on Europe, and probes how the EU and its member states can leverage their untapped potential to advance their interests and values on a regional and global level. It thus examines the evolution of EU relations with major powers, such as the United States, China, and Russia, and how Europe can contribute to a rules-based global order. Second, the Programme focuses on the role of the EU in fostering reforms, resilience and stability in neighbouring regions. It looks closely at the developments in Turkey and Ukraine. Third, the Programme examines how the EU can strengthen its security in the face of terrorism, jihadist radicalisation or hybrid and cyber threats. It also seeks to advance the debate on Europe’s defence policy. 4 GUNS AND GLORY: CRIMINALITY, IMPRISONMENT AND JIHADIST EXTREMISM IN EUROPE The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is a not-for-profit, non- partisan, international policy organisation formed to combat the growing threat from extremist ideologies. Led by a renowned group of former world leaders and diplomats, it combats extremism by pressuring financial and material support networks; countering the narrative of extremists and their online recruitment; and advocating for smart laws, policies, and regulations. Extremists are spreading their ideology and recruiting support across the globe, posing a complex and urgent challenge that cannot be addressed by government alone. There is a responsibility for private groups and individuals to organize in opposition to extremists. To this end, CEP is: q assembling an extensive research and analysis database on extremist groups and their networks of support, providing an indispensable resource to governments, the media, NGOs and civil society organizations, and the general public; q exposing channels of financial and material support to extremist groups; q using the latest communications, social media, and technological tools to identify and reveal the extremist threat and directly counter extremist ideology and recruitment online; and q assisting policymakers around the world to devise legislation and regulations that effectively combat extremism. EUROPEAN POLICY CENTRE – COUNTER EXTREMISM PROJECT 5 ABOUT THE PROJECT From October 2018 until the summer of 2019, the European Policy Centre (EPC) and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) partnered in a research project looking at the link between criminality – including organised crime groups, local petty crime gangs or individuals – and jihadist terrorism, which culminated in this book. These days, terrorist groups, in particular the so-called Islamic State (ISIS), are increasingly recruiting individuals with backgrounds in crime and using their skills, connections in the criminal world, and experience with law enforcement bodies to finance, plan, prepare and execute their attacks. This recruitment takes place both outside and inside prisons. In this context, EPC and CEP experts have carried out an independent assessment of these urgent challenges as they occur in ten European countries (Albania, Belgium, France, Germany, Republic of Ireland, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom). Drawing on this, they have proposed a number of bold recommendations to European governments and EU institutions to counter the ongoing threat when criminality intersects with jihadist terrorism. 6 GUNS AND GLORY: CRIMINALITY, IMPRISONMENT AND JIHADIST EXTREMISM IN EUROPE ABOUT THE AUTHORS Ian Acheson is an international expert on violent extremism in prisons and prison reform. Much of his experience is operational, having been gained from 25 years of experience in the UK criminal justice system, from the frontline to command and policymaking. In 2016, he led the ground-breaking independent review of the threat posed by Islamist extremism in the British prison and probation system on behalf of the UK government. He writes and speaks widely in the media on prison regimes for ideological offenders and the reintegration of terrorist offenders after custody. In 2018, Acheson joined the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) as a Senior Advisor on this critical challenge. Amanda Paul is a Senior Policy Analyst in the Europe in the World Programme at the European Policy Centre (EPC), where she focuses on Turkey, conflict resolution in the Black Sea region, EU foreign policy in its Eastern neighbourhood and Russian foreign policy in the former Soviet space and Middle East. Since 2016, she has also led EPC work on preventing and countering violent extremism and the challenge of jihadist radicalisation. Paul is also a Senior Associate Fellow at the International Centre for Policy Studies, a leading Kyiv-based think tank, and Senior Advisor for issues related to the Eurasia region at Stober, Poltavets and Associates Consultants. She has also worked as a columnist in the Turkish media for ten years. Prior to joining the EPC, Paul worked with the Brussels-based Centre for European Policy Studies, the German multinational Türk Henkel, and for the European Commission. Paul holds an MA in International Relations from the University of Staffordshire.

  • Reimagining Religious Identity: the Moor in Dutch and English Pamphlets, 1550 –1620*
    Reimagining Religious Identity: The Moor in Dutch and English Pamphlets, 1550 –1620* by G ARY K. WAITE This essay examines how Dutch and English vernacular writers portrayed the Moor in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, when their respective governments were engaged in diplomatic and trade discussions with Morocco. It aims for a better understanding of the difference in religious attitudes and cultures between these two Protestant realms by arguing that their respective approaches to internal religious toleration significantly influenced how their residents viewed Muslims. Dutch writers adopted a less hostile tone toward the Moor than English writers due to the republic’s principled defense of freedom of conscience, its informal system of religious toleration in the private sector, and its merchant Realpolitik. Unlike in England, Dutch conversos were allowed to be Jews. A number of Moroccan Muslims also resided in Holland, lobbying on behalf of the Muslim King of Morocco. The Moroccan Jewish Pallache family played prominent roles with the government and in two of the pamphlets examined here, including one that interprets a Moroccan civil war through the lens of demonic sorcery. So too did Jan Theunisz, a liberal Mennonite of Amsterdam who collaborated with both Jews and Muslims in his home. As Dutch citizens were adapting to a new religious environment that effectively privatized religious practice, they were better equipped than their English counterparts to acclimatize to Jews inside and the Moor outside their borders.

The monograph "Xenophobia, Radicalism and, Hate Crimes in the OSCE Area, 2018-20", prepared by the Moscow Economic Institute with the assistance of the European Center for the Development of Democracy, is a study by leading experts from around the world, based on monitoring and comparative analysis of anti- extremist legislation, law enforcement practice, the level of public tolerance, statistics of hate crimes committed, and activities of radical and extremist organizations from 2018 to 2020 in a number of countries around the world. The geographic scope of the study is designated as the "OSCE area", although we are talking about 10 European countries and 2 North countries including America. Of course, such a set of monitoring countries does not cover all the states that are members of this international organization, however, it allows us to trace general trends in lawmaking, law enforcement practice and other spheres of government and public life that affect the situation with extremism.

    Osmanlı Bilimi Araştırmaları, XVI/2 (2015): 3-32 THE BEGINNINGS OF PRINTING IN THE OTTOMAN CAPITAL: BOOK PRODUCTION AND CIRCULATION IN EARLY MODERN ISTANBUL Nil Pektaş* When Johannes Gutenberg began printing using the technology of movable type in Mainz around 1439, the Western world was to change rapidly and irreversibly. This shift from mainly handwritten production and the less popular xylographic printing (made from a single carved or sculpted block for each page) to typographic printing (made with movable type on a printing press in Gutenberg’s style) made it possible to produce more books by considerably reducing the time and cost of production. Renaissance and Reformation, the two movements that defined pre-modern Europe, would have been unthinkable without this technology.1 The conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453, which coincided with the printing of Gutenberg’s Bible, forced a substantial number of scholars and scribes to migrate to the West, where they established workshops for the copying and printing of Greek liturgical, patristic and classical texts and grammars.2 Thus Greek printers and printers of Greek texts were active mainly in Italy, but also in Germany, France, England, the Netherlands and Spain.3 In The Printing Press as an Agent of Change, Elizabeth * Dr, The Hellenic Institute, Royal Holloway, University of London, [email protected] 1 On moveable type printing in Europe see L.

  • The First Greek Printing Press in Constantinople (1625‐1628)
    The First Greek Printing Press in Constantinople (1625‐1628) NIL OZLEM PEKTAS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London (Royal Holloway and Bedford New College) June 2014 1 Candidate’s declaration: I confirm that this PhD thesis is entirely my own work. All sources and quotations have been acknowledged. The main works consulted are listed in the bibliography. Candidate’s signature: Date: 2 Abstract The thesis is a study of the first Greek printing house established in Constantinople in 1627‐1628 by the Greek monk Nikodemos Metaxas, who began his printing venture in London’s Fleet Street in 1625. The aim of the thesis is to explore the history of Metaxas’s press and examine the intricate web of relations behind the establishment and closure of his printing house. The study follows Metaxas’s arrival in London, his printing activities in England, the transportation of the printing device to the Ottoman capital, the books produced in Constantinople and the events leading to the confiscation of the press and its subsequent release. The research is based on published and unpublished material, including the diplomatic reports and the correspondence between English, French, Venetian and Dutch ambassadors, letters exchanged between George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Cyril Loukaris, the Patriarch of Constantinople; the letters of Sir Thomas Roe, English ambassador to the Porte, and other contemporary accounts of the event such as those collected by the clergymen Thomas Smith and Antoine Leger; and the extant copies of all printed volumes containing the treatises published by Metaxas in London, Constantinople and Cephalonia between 1624‐1628 and various manuscripts dispersed around the world relating to his publications.

  • Eric Dupond-Moretti, L'instinct De Défense
    Eric Dupond-Moretti, l’instinct de défense Cet avocat aux méthodes contestées est le défenseur de Jérôme Cahuzac. En vingt ans, « le gros Dupond », comme l’appellent ses confrères, a façonné son personnage à coups de gueule et de culot. LE MONDE | 16.02.2018 à 12h20 • Mis à jour le 16.02.2018 à 19h29 | Par Simon Piel et Ariane Chemin C’est à cela que l’on reconnaît les stars : les trompettes de la renommée leur servent d’identité. Le patronyme d’Eric Dupond-Moretti n’est pas cité une seule fois par la procureure générale de la cour d’appel de Paris, ce 16 janvier 2018, mais la rumeur enfle dans la salle : c’est de lui, sans aucun doute, que parle Catherine Champrenault, quand elle explique que « parasiter l’audience de la cour d’assises par des incidents multiples est contraire à l’essence même du débat judiciaire ». L’assemblée d’initiés réunie au Palais de justice pour l’audience solennelle de rentrée comprend aussitôt la référence implicite au procès de l’ancien secrétaire d’Etat Georges Tron, ajourné un mois auparavant après une série de couacs provoqués par Me Dupond-Moretti. « Le magistrat ne doit pas tolérer que les débats de l’audience se transforment en spectacle », gronde la procureure. Cinq jours plus tôt, la Salle Pleyel a accueilli la cérémonie du « premier serment » de 1 600 élèves avocats du barreau parisien. Face à eux, à la tribune, la première présidente de la cour d’appel, Chantal Arens, entourée de collègues en robe, hermine et toutes décorations dehors.
