Washington, D.C. – Kyle Shideler has joined the Center for Security Policy as a Senior Analyst and Director for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.

Shideler will lead the Center’s research and analysis on domestic threats to the U.S. homeland.

The Center works to educate policymakers and the general public on the doctrines which fuel terrorism and shape the variety of kinetic and non-kinetic threats to America’s security, with a strong emphasis on the threat posed by radical Islam.

Mr. Shideler specializes on Islamist groups operating in the United States, having spent over a decade researching and writing on their history, doctrine, and impact.

From July 2018 until January 2020, Shideler served as the Director of the Counter-Islamist Grid, for the Middle East Forum, where he helped establish and led a team of researchers identifying Islamist networks in six major U.S. cities.

From May 2014 until June 2018 Shideler served with the Center for Security Policy as the Director of the Center’s Threat Information Office, where he led a team producing daily threat reporting, and managed a project analyzing the Muslim Brotherhood network in the United States, and briefed senior U.S. Government personnel, Members of Congress, and law enforcement officers, and testified before the Canadian Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Defense.

From September 2008 to May 2014 he served as the Director of Research and Communications for the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET), a think tank focused on the American-Israel alliance.

Shideler has written for The Federalist, The Hill, FoxNews.com, the Claremont Review of Books, and was a contributing author to Saudi Arabia and the Global Islamic Terrorist Network (Palgrave, 2011). He has appeared on Fox News Business, Newsmax, and One America News.

He is a graduate of Boston University and was a Lincoln Fellow with the Claremont Institute.

Center for Security Policy President Fred Fleitz said about Kyle Shideler rejoining the Center:

“We’re very glad to have Kyle Shideler returning to the Center in order to expand our capabilities analyzing the threat from radical Islam, as well as other homeland security challenges facing our nation. We’ve long been at the forefront when it comes to educating both policymakers and citizens on the nature of these threats, and I can think of no one better than Kyle to lead this crucial element of the Center’s important national security work.”
