Symbol Intel Projects Symbol Intel is working on several unique projects that focus on the ritual and symbolic aspects of the war on terrorism, ritualistic crimes, new religious movements, gangs and other subcultural groups. Ongoing research includes; documenting contemporary acts of desecration / iconoclasm such as the Taliban blowing up the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, Muhammad cartoons and other Islamic controversies; blood libels and other acts of propaganda; and charting ritual mutilations and beheadings in the war on terrorism. The results of Symbol Intel research projects are available in intelligence reports, publications and specialized training. |
