Accuracy and corrections

The standard this archive is edited by - and how to check any claim on it yourself, without needing to reach anyone.

This page is published in English. The English text is the authoritative version.

The standing rule

Where this archive states something that a primary source does not support, it is wrong and it gets changed. Corrections are made on the editors' own initiative when an error becomes apparent, are dated where they are made, and are recorded in the change log at the bottom of this page. A withdrawn claim stays visible as withdrawn. Nothing is edited silently.

This is a description of how the archive is edited. It is not a promise to any person, an undertaking to respond to anyone, or a service that can be invoked - see no channel below. It binds the archive's own practice, which is the only thing a publisher can honestly bind.

You do not need us to check this archive

The design principle of the site is that verification is the reader's, not the publisher's. That is why every claim carries its document:

Open the source entry. Every claim on every page is attached to an entry in the source register.
Read what the entry actually asserts. It gives the publisher, the document, the year, the country, the passage, the location of that passage - page or paragraph - and the date the link was opened and verified.
Open the original. Every entry links to the institution's own copy of the document, at the institution's own address. No document, image or video is rehosted here, so what you open is what the issuing body published.
Compare. If the document does not say what this archive reports, you do not need our agreement to know that - and neither does anyone you show it to.

This archive is built so that the check never requires us. The register itself is a plain file at /data/sources.json for anyone who would rather read it directly.

How sources are presented, exactly

Most errors in this genre come from accurate quotations put to work in ways the document does not support, rather than from invented facts. Four rules exist against that:

Verbatim quotation is marked verbatim. Where the register shows a passage in quotation marks, badged as a verbatim quote, those are the source's own words.
A summary is never dressed as the source speaking. Where the archive has summarised rather than quoted, the passage is shown without quotation marks, badged "our summary", and carries the note: Summarised by this archive, not quoted. Open the source to read its own words. Quotation marks are a claim about whose words these are, and this archive does not make that claim falsely.
Interpretation is marked analysis and is presented as opinion on disclosed facts, never as fact.
Counter-evidence is published beside supporting evidence as a standing rule, including where it weakens the archive's own emphasis: a security service lowering its threat level, a government review recording that it found no domestic terrorism link and no resort to violent action, a court judgment cutting against a statute this archive also cites.

Ageing, re-verification and superseded documents

Every entry carries the date its link was opened and read. That date is a statement about a moment, not a warranty about today. The register is re-checked as part of ordinary editing, and the footer of every page carries the date the register was last verified and how many entries it holds.

Where a document is superseded - a newer threat assessment, an amended statute, a judgment on appeal - the archive's rule is to date the older one and record that it has been superseded, not to delete it. The history of what an institution said, and when, is part of the record.

Where an organisation has answered

Where an organisation described here has published its own response, the archive's rule is to link that response next to the material it answers, in the organisation's own words and at the organisation's own address. This is already the practice: the Muslim Brotherhood's own submission to the UK review, and that review's finding that it had not been linked to terrorist activity in the UK, are both on this site.

A published response is therefore the effective route by which a named organisation's position reaches this archive's readers - publicly, in its own words, without depending on private correspondence with an anonymous publisher.

No channel, and what that means

This site accepts no correspondence. There is no mailbox, no contact form, no comment field, no submission route and no account. No address associated with this domain is monitored, and nothing sent to one is received, read or acted upon.

Silence is never to be read as a decision: nothing that anyone sends is refused, ignored or declined on the merits, because nothing is received at all. The design follows from the anonymity of the project, which is set out in the legal notice.

Nothing on this page is an undertaking, a promise to any person, a response time, a complaints procedure or a service. This archive is not an intermediary service under the Digital Services Act, owes no notice-and-action duty under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, and does not create one voluntarily here - the scope assessment is in the legal notice. Rights that exist in law - a statutory counter-statement (Gegendarstellung) under § 20 of the German Medienstaatsvertrag, the French online right of reply under the LCEN with the procedure in décret n° 2007-1527 du 24 octobre 2007, a complaint to a data protection authority under Article 77 GDPR - exist whatever this page says, and are unaffected by it.

Stated honestly

Having no channel has a cost. A person who believes this archive is wrong cannot tell the publisher, who may therefore learn of an error later than it otherwise would. What is offered instead is the verification route above - every claim attached to a document anyone can open - and a standing editorial rule that errors are corrected on the archive's own initiative when they become apparent, from any quarter, including public criticism.

The change log

Each entry records the date, the page, what was wrong, what it now says, and the source that settled it. Substantive changes to the legal notices are recorded here too, so that their version history is auditable rather than silent.

Added - /trends: official counts year by year 2026-10-22

Five charts from official series: Spain's jihadist detainees 2004 to 14 October 2026 (Interior Ministry and prosecutor general), EU jihadist arrests and attacks 2014-2025 (Europol), Austria's suspects 2023-2025 (DSN), and people in custody for terrorism in Great Britain by ideology 2013-2026 (Home Office). Every point was checked against its document; breaks in the series are marked on the chart. The dashed lines are our arithmetic - a straight line through the last five years, carried two years on - and are marked as analysis, not as a forecast by any authority.

Added - weekly round: 2 sources and 2 announcements from 11 to 18 October 2026 2026-10-18

Register 87 to 89: the Norwegian Police Security Service's thematic report of 15 October 2026 on about 70 minors it worked on for extreme Islamism in 2023 to 2025 (the same report finds most of them had a weak or absent ideological conviction, and that is printed with it), and the Home Office counter-terrorism disruptive powers report 2025, published 14 October (it ranks the Islamist threat first and names other threats in the same sentence; most of its 2025 arrests concern Palestine Action). "2026 so far" on the home page: 2 official announcements added (Netherlands 1, United Kingdom 1), 53 in all. Neither names the Islamic State, ISKP or Hamas or calls the motive Islamist or jihadist, so both are counted under the list and neither is listed. Every document was opened again on 2026-10-18 and every quotation was checked against it. Held back: a speech by the president of Germany's domestic intelligence service (no figures, too thin to stand alone), a recording of the Austrian Parliament's question time with the interior minister (its description does not mention the subject), and four announcements that are outside the window or not terrorism cases. No official threat level changed in the pages that could be opened.

Changed - how the archive reaches search engines and AI assistants 2026-10-16

The register, the curated blocks, the video galleries and the 2026 list now sit in each page's own HTML. Until today only the browser drew them, so readers and crawlers without JavaScript saw almost nothing: the register page carried 191 words. It now carries about 17,800. Pages also describe themselves in schema.org terms, the register as a Dataset. Titles are shorter. A feed lists newly verified sources at /feed.xml, and /llms.txt explains the archive to language models. No entry, quote or figure changed.

Added - weekly round: 5 sources and 4 announcements from 5 to 11 October 2026 2026-10-11

Register 82 to 87: the European Parliament's resolution of 8 October 2026 on Islamist entryism and the Muslim Brotherhood network (non-binding; it lists nobody, and its own limiting passages are printed with it), the Home Office terrorism statistics to June 2026, the opening statement of the president of Germany's domestic intelligence service to the Bundestag's oversight panel on 5 October, the Bundestag's recording of that hearing, and the French parliamentary channel's recording of government question time on 7 October. "2026 so far" on the home page: 4 official announcements added (United Kingdom 2, Germany 1, Italy 1), 51 in all. None of the four names the Islamic State, ISKP or Hamas or calls the motive Islamist or jihadist, so all four are counted under the list and none is listed. Every page was opened again on 2026-10-11 and every quotation was checked against it. Held back: two Bundestag debates, a police release on a sentence for a planned attack on an embassy (the police name no organisation and no ideology), and two announcements published before 5 October. No official threat level changed in the pages that could be opened.

Added - 15 official recordings; each video now shown once, on its own page 2026-10-05

Statements and press conferences after the attacks in Villach, Munich, Solingen, Arras and Manchester and the stabbing in Golders Green, the UK threat-level change of 2026, the UN Special Representative on her 7 October mission report, Europol and European Parliament sessions on the terrorism report, two Bundestag sittings, the EU Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism, and two Guardia Civil operations. Each card quotes only what the publisher says the recording is; one candidate was set aside because its thumbnail shows people at an arrest. The home page keeps seven; the others sit on the harms, structure and recruitment pages. Register 66 to 81.

Added - Spain: 2025 record, threat level, minors, Torre Pacheco 2026-10-04

Spain had the most jihadist arrests in the EU in 2025 but only one document in this register. Added: the prosecutor general's 2025 record with the Interior Ministry's tables (100 jihadist detainees in Spain, 64 operations), the current alert level (4 of 5, reinforced; now on the map), the national security report's chapter on terrorism with its own limits, the national court's juvenile figures, and - as counter-evidence - the prosecutor's account of the Torre Pacheco violence of July 2025 as anti-migrant hate crime. Register 61 to 66.

Added - 18 sources: victims, sexual slavery, minors 2026-10-04

The harms page now records who the victims of five attacks were (court, presidential and security-service texts), what courts in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands and the UN found about the Islamic State's enslavement of Yazidi women and children, the UN's March 2024 finding on sexual violence on 7 October with its stated limit on attribution, and two attacks this archive does not count, with the official reason. The recruitment page adds four official counts of minors. Every quotation was re-checked against the live document; the register goes from 43 to 61.

Added - home page, "2026 so far" 2026-10-04

The home page showed 2025 only, because Europol's report on 2026 is due in 2027. A list of what national authorities announced themselves in 2026 now sits under the map: 47 official announcements were opened on 2026-10-04 and every quotation was checked against the live page; 22 are listed under the rule printed there and the other 25 are counted by what the authority names. Coverage gaps are stated on the page.

Notices amended - Privacy 2.3, Terms 2.2: video thumbnails 2026-10-04

Video entries now show the thumbnail the platform publishes, loaded by the reader's browser from YouTube's image server without a referrer. It is the one third-party request on this site; the privacy notice names it wherever it previously said no third party is contacted, and the Content-Security-Policy allows that single image host.

Link corrected - Germany, BfV annual report 2025 2026-10-04

Register row bfv-vsb-2025. The link opened the report's landing page, not the report. It now opens the PDF. The figures quoted were correct and are unchanged; a note was added that the violence-oriented Islamist potential fell (9,540 to 9,110) while the total rose.

Settled by opening both the landing page and the 460-page PDF on 2026-10-04.

Superseded - Denmark, and one Danish assessment 2026-10-04

The 2018 bill's wording "ghettoområde" is replaced by the act in force, which uses "parallelsamfund" with the same criterion; the 2024 PET assessment is replaced by the 2026 one already in the register. Nothing quoted was inaccurate; both rows were out of date.

The Dutch, Italian and Swedish rows of an older edition stay, each with a note pointing to the newer edition now in the register.

Added beside a finding - /recruitment, Italy 2026-10-04

A paragraph records that the Italian service's 2026 report words the Gaza point more narrowly than its 2025 report: appeals in jihadist propaganda, not a count of attacks, one factor among several. The 2025 finding stays, labelled with its year.

Notices amended - Terms 2.1, Privacy 2.2, this page 1.1, Methodology 2026-10-04

To describe video entries (a plain text card that links to the publisher's own copy; no video hosted or embedded, no image stored) and English renderings of foreign-language quotations (labelled as the publisher's own edition or as this archive's unproofread translation, never inside quotation marks). The methodology gains a sixth class of qualifying source, official recordings.
