counter-jihad movement .

Clarion previously employed security-analyst
Ryan Mauro , who according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, has asserted that there were multiple "no-go zones" for non-Muslims across the U.K. and Europe and has spoken about the supposed rising number of Muslim enclaves across the U.S., governed by "gangs of Islamic extremists" enforcing the Shariah law.

In 2022 a speech by a Clarion Project co-founder was cancelled.
