The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, seeks to define and promote American interests in the Middle East. The Middle East Quarterly provides in-depth analyses. Campus Watch critiques Middle East studies in North America. Islamist Watch focuses on the lawful promotion of radical Islam. The Legal Project protects public freedom of speech in this subject area.

In the Spotlight:

On 20 October 2009, twin explosions rocked Islamabad's International Islamic University, killing six students (plus the two bombers) and injuring 29. The bombings coincided with the intensification of Pakistan's attacks on the Taliban. The MEF revisits the theme of radical Islam in Pakistan:
