Center for the Study of Political Islam International
The Center for the Study of Political Islam International (CSPII), based in the Czech Republic, was formed by Warner and Milan Podlipný from the Czech Republic in 2014. According to its website it has branches in 11 countries.

The Southern Poverty Law Center states that the CSPII ran two lectures in the Czech Republic in 2017 where lecturers described "Muslims as being encouraged to promote principles in contradiction with a European understanding of human rights."

The Council on American–Islamic Relations has described the CSPI as Islamophobic.

The Czech branch distributed one of Warner's books to the Slovak National Council in 2016. Luboš Kropáček, a Czech Islamologist at Charles University stated that "As far as I know, no Orientalist, Arabist or Islamologist pays attention to this man, he has no business in our field of science." Bronislav Ostřanský, a researcher at the Oriental Institute, ASCR, said that his apparently scientific approach impresses many people "including otherwise educated and politically influential personalities" but that he should be quoted "in a professional work in only one context, namely as relevant source material for the study of contemporary Islamophobia."

In 2010 the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought commented on Warner's article "Is a nice Muslim a Good Muslim" which is now on the CSPII site.

General comments on Warner
Czech politician Jiří Kobza lists 4 publications by Warner in his " list of the most important books that every citizen should read".

Czech lawyer and politician Klára Samková promotes Warner's "Sharia Law for Non-Muslims" and offers it as a download.

Czech newspaper Aktuálně.cz hosts Daniela Drtinová interviewing Bill warner. (is his claim about 6 minutes in that a Muslim man can bring in several wives who will all qualify for welfare true?)

The European Islamophobia Report 2019, published by The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) states that "By focusing on the term "political Islam", Bill Warner contributed to Islamophobia by seemingly separating teaching on kafirs from teaching of Islam in general, and falsely claiming that political Islam does not target Muslims and practicing of their faith."
