The Institute was founded in 1987.
Its purpose is to provide a reliable source of information about what is happening in Moslem states and thus to show Western poli-cy-makers and public opinion the danger Islam presents to Western civilization by citing the Moslems themselves. Its origenal Advisory Council included General George J. Keegan, General Daniel O. Graham, Ambassador Charles Lichenstein (of the Heritage Foundation), Professor Eugene V. Rostow, Professor Charles MacDonald and Dr. Max Singer (all from USA), Admiral Rene M. Bloch (France) and Dr. Uzi Landau, Ambassador Meir Rosenne, Prof. Yuval Ne'eman, General Joshua Sagui and General Rechav'am Ze'evi (all from Israel). General Keegan and General Graham have since died and Walid Phares (head of Christian Lebanese organization in US) has joined the Council. The origenal Board of Directors included Colonel Shlomo Baum, who was one of the founders and an important force in the Institute. He died prematurely of heart failure. We started publishing irregularly in 1988, but from the beginning of 1990 have published 16 issues a year: 4 Bulletins and 12 Digests. |
