The ICLA began in 2006 as the
910 Group (named for the day before the
September 11 attacks), which was one of the first organizations of the international counter-jihad blogosphere movement. The group aimed to protect "liberties, human rights, and religious and political freedoms [that] are under assault from extremist groups who believe in Islamist supremacy", and to be a "facilitator of worldwide communication".
Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) was formed as a result of contacts at the conference between Pedersen and British activist
Stephen Gash. In 2012 the organization was present and protested the taking of the oath of a city councillor of the Islam List party in Anderlecht, Belgium, stating that it is "illegal and anti-democratic to tolerate an elected official who wants to turn Belgium into an Islamic state". Activists attending OSCE conferences have included Alain Wagner, Chris Knowles, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, Liz Schmidt, Felix Strüning,
Henrik Ræder Clausen, Valerie Price, Ann Marchini, Edward S. May, and
Stephen Coughlin, from affiliated groups such as
ACT for America,
Center for Security Policy and
Citizens' Movement Pax Europa. By 2015 the ICLA however fell out with OSCE, due to OSCE in its view "enforcing the
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s narrative", although it has attended some later conferences. The website of the organization has been inactive since 2016. ==References==
