Youcef Naimi
2024
Youcef Naimi combined his studies in Islamology and Arabistics in Belgium and abroad, his years of experience in education as an Islamic religion teacher and an active presence in civil society in the field of social prevention. Today he is responsible for overseeing the content of our education and training. At the police schools, Youcef is our main lecturer for the ‘radicalism and jihadism’ training, and he has also given trainings to various police forces on right-wing extremism and racism. During these training sessions the signs and processes of radicalization are discussed. With his expertise about extremist ideologies, he is also an important coach in guiding radicalized young people.
At the Summit
This cannot be thought of as a conference or a summit. The stakes are simply too high and the data/conversation and methods to drive action more valuable/motivating than any gathering I have attended. I took more than 100 pages of notes and have shared them with my CBS News leadership team, anchors, producers, and correspondents. Nothing about this gathering was easy. The agony around this topic is real. But no one curious about it could ask for a more devoted, rational, or unflinching look into this dark but decipherable world.
