Our Dr. Abdul Haqq Baker will be speaking at the Islamic University of Maldives on Terrorism and Radicalization. The TAM Group specializes in being able to speak to and visit audiences that the typical extremist expert can't relate to.
Amin Muslim proudly served as my Director of Constituent Service from 2007-2016. He was a champion for the residents of Ward 7 and will be missed. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family. Rest In Peace Amin.
Yesterday we lost Amin Muslim, an incredible public servant who made DC a better place. I was fortunate to get to know him over the past few years when he worked for @DCPoliceDept. He loved this city & made a difference in the lives of many. My condolences to his family.
My deepest condolences are with the family of Amin Muslim, a public servant who worked endlessly for the District--making his community a better place. He will be truly missed.
Amin was special—one of the most committed public servants I’ve ever worked with. I’m grateful to have enjoyed his friendship and benefited from his counsel. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him. Rest in peace, Brother Amin Muslim. #RIPAmin

This past July 27th Dr. Baker, our Director of Counter-Radicalization & Counter-Extremism participated in a CVE/PVE conference on the links between terrorism, kidnapping and drugs (Crime - Terror Nexus), in partnership with Anthony Ofoyetan with the @IIPSinstitute.
This is what community policing looks like. Many times, the only time inner-city youth interact with law enforcement is during stressful situations. Great example. #CommunityPolicing https://t.co/feUCtKLmVU
For our #WorldWithoutISPU campaign, we asked @ReThinkRights's Corey Saylor to reflect on the ways ISPU has enabled his work. He said, “If you want to see where the future of empowering Americans who are Muslim lies, you must look at the ISPU...” https://t.co/e8RHXTjXQD
