Funding

Criticism

The Southern Poverty Law Center listed the organization as an "anti-Muslim hate group" in 2016–2019. The U.S.-based Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American–Islamic Relations, stated that the Clarion Project is among 37 American organizations that promote Islamophobia in American society. The organization has been described as part of the counter-jihad movement.

Clarion previously employed security-analyst Ryan Mauro, who according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, has asserted that there were multiple "no-go zones" for non-Muslims across the U.K. and Europe and has spoken about the supposed rising number of Muslim enclaves across the U.S., governed by "gangs of Islamic extremists" enforcing the Shariah law.

In 2022 a speech by a Clarion Project co-founder was cancelled.
