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
The effort to eradicate hate requires the active participation of every component of our society, to include governments, the private sector, communities of faith and indeed every aspect of civil society. There is no more urgent task in front of us. The organizers of the Eradicate Hate Global Summit are doing the United States and the world an enormous service by tackling hatred and extremism with a focus on honest dialogue and conversation, genuine learning and practical solutions. This will not happen overnight, but the Pittsburgh community’s leadership in this effort is genuinely inspiring and motivating.
