Reform This project monitors advocates of reform in the Arab and Muslim world and the obstacles they face in advancing their cause. The goal of this project is to provide reformists with a platform from which they can reach out to their societies and religious, political, and educational leaders while also providing Western policy makers with a solid basis for long-tem strategic plans aimed at supporting this effort. MEMRI has provided a platform for activists in areas including: social reform and civil society; reform in state education and political systems; women's rights; the impact of Arab reformists in their own countries; pro-reform conferences and petitions; and criticism of extremist mainstream Muslim clerics. Since its founding in February 1998, MEMRI has established itself as a leader on the issue of reform in the Arab and Muslim world. MEMRI has translated into English thousands of pages and hundred of hours of TV from Arab and Iranian advocates of reform.

Jihad & Terrorism The threat of militant-Islamic terrorist organizations operating in the United States has become a reality. In response, MEMRI has established a Jihad and Terrorism Studies Project to monitor militant-Islamic groups that educate and preach Jihad and martyrdom in mosques, school systems, and in the media. This project will also focus on individuals and radical Islamist organizations, sermons and religious rulings (fatwas) and reactions to terrorist attacks both in the U.S. and abroad. As part of this project MEMRI has introduced the Islamist Website Monitor Initiative that monitors over 60 of most important terrorist websites.
