1. How reassuring that no 'collaboration [with CIA-linked CPOST] ever materialised'.
Should one had been offered, would Yaqeen have refused it in principle?
Let us look at his disgraceful revision of Julio's work. t.co/K8dOBLP3dD2. Asadullah wants us to believe that Julio's role in the US Department of Defence was to 'help the Syrian civilian population' that produced no value for military generals.
You would expect such a whitewash to come from the US State Department, not a fellow at Yaqeen.

A reminder to Islamic organisations and individuals seeking to benefit from the Counter Terrorism (CT) and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) industry.
2. No one accuses Yaqeen of 'taking CVE funding' or ‘supporting its framework', but there are reasons to believe it has engaged in CT/CVE in some capacity.
If not, then why did Yaqeen seek future collaboration with CPOST, an established player in the CVE (and CT) industry?

[Thread, Part 3 - Response to those justifying Yaqeen's CVE collaboration]
1. Ibrahim Abdul-Saleem, Yaqeen collaborating with a leading CVE proponent that has the ex-CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell as its board member, cannot be explained or justified by false analogies.
2. You gave the example of Abdul-Qahir, who researched US militarism in Afghanistan and presented it to Western institutions, suggesting similarities to Yaqeen's work with CPOST.

[Thread, Part 2 - Questions for Yaqeen]
1. Huthaifa Shqeirat, it's for Yaqeen to answer why it collaborates with an organisation deeply rooted in counter-intelligence and the military.
2. CPOST's board includes the ex-CIA Deputy Director, Michael Morell, who during his tenure, ran the murderous drone and covert ops in the Muslim World, killing thousands, including Abdulrahman Anwar Al-Awlaki, a 16 year old US Muslim citizen in 2011.

1. As genuine criticisms of Yaqeen Institute are getting buried amidst the relentless nitpicking of Daniel Haqiqatjou.
This thread highlights one criticism, their links and collaboration with the Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) industry.
What you'll find may shock you.
2. Yaqeen's 'engagement philosophy' has its limits, and their work with establishment figures on CVE is where many reasonable Muslims would draw the line.
