Ideas Beyond Borders

Prevent Extremism Before it Takes Root

Many organizations already fight terrorism but they only deal with the tip of the iceberg.  What can be done to stop it before it even starts?   Donate to Ideas Beyond Borders!  

We're a nonprofit organization founded by an Iraqi refugee who escaped violent extremism with the vow to prevent extremism before it takes root.   

We've created anti-extremist programs that are guided by acclaimed advisers (including Steven Pinker) and funded by people just like you. Together, we can empower the vulnerable with enlightened ideas and meaningful conversations that encourage alternatives to terror 

We take free speech for granted. But in much of the world books are banned, journalists jailed, and bloggers murdered. Ideas Beyond Borders strives to empower the vulnerable by spreading knowledge, encouraging conversations, and celebrating our shared humanity.

We make these inaccessible ideas accessible to people who are most vulnerable to extremist rhetoric.
