The Clarion Project (formerly Clarion Fund Inc.) is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit organization founded in 2006. The organization has been involved in the production and distribution of the films Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, The Third Jihad, Iranium and Honor Diaries.
The Clarion Project states its mission as "exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism while providing a platform for the voices of moderation and promoting grassroots activism."
Ryan Mauro is the Clarion Project’s national security analyst.
Funders include the Donors Capital Fund, a nonprofit donor-advised fund, which gave the organization a donation of $17.7 million in 2008, and casino owner Sheldon Adelson.
The project's advisory board included Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, and Walid Phares of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. MEMRI provided translations of media from Muslim-majority countries for its films.
The project was founded by Rabbi Raphael Shore, who previously worked for the organization Aish HaTorah.
Obsession is a documentary film – produced and co-written by Raphael Shore, Clarion Project founder, about the perceived threat of radical Islam to Western civilization. Using footage from Arab television, it reveals an "insider's view" of what it claims is hatred being taught in schools, incitement to global jihad and radical Islam's goal of world domination. The film also traces the parallels between the Nazi movement of World War II, current radicals and the Western world's response to both threats. Obsession features interviews with Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson, professor Alan Dershowitz.
