The recent jihadist attacks in Paris, Sydney, and Ottawa remind us that the West is not immune to the threat of radical Islam. Violence that is inspired and even sponsored by al Qaeda and ISIS will continue to spread beyond the Middle East, spurred in part by the competition for leadership of the global jihad. How will the United States confront the surging threat from Islamist extremism and ensure the safety of the American people?

Please join us at AEI for a discussion with Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, on his strategy for a renewed global effort to defeat these extremist groups and their dangerous ideology.

We welcome you to follow the speech and comment on Twitter with #McCaulatAEI.
