As Middle East Forum staff, fellows, and publications have underscored, the growth of Islamism in France is driven by the size of its Muslim minority (the largest in Western Europe), the failure of immigrants to assimilate into French society, the cradle-to-grave welfare system that encourages youth idleness, and an unwillingness to take seriously the threat of Islamist ideology.

The Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based think tank, works to define and promote American interests in the Middle East and protect Western values from Middle Eastern threats. It does this in three main ways:
- Intellectually: Through the Middle East Quarterly, staff writings, lectures and conference calls, the Forum provides context, insights, and policy recommendations.
- Operationally: The Forum exerts an active influence through its projects, including Campus Watch, Islamist Watch, the Legal Project, the Washington Project, and the Shillman/Ginsburg Writing Fellowship Program.
- Philanthropically: The Forum distributes nearly $1.5 million annually through its Education Fund, helping researchers, writers, investigators, and activists around the world.
