The International Association of Islamic People Against Terrorism (IAIPAT) is an effort by MEDP to strengthen a community of countries and other relevant groups with problems concerning terrorism. Terrorism can be argued to be endemic to Islamic societies, societies with large Islamic populations, Low Income Countries, or countries experiencing war. Terrorism is also prevalent in countries that have supranational issues, such as the current struggles in Georgia and the Philippines. The first form of terrorism is referred to as non-hegemonic - as the groups causing violence are often of mixed cultures and social classes; whilst the second is hegemonic due to the social cohesiveness often expressed by people wanting their own geopolitical sovereignty.

IAIPAT serves to provide a durable exchange of experiences and information between bodies dealing with both types of terrorism via secure networks. This 'durable exchange' includes a tri-annual international gathering as well as an ICT network to provide channels of communication for those bodies between IAIPAT summits. This will help resolve terrorism in a local, national, and international manner by sharing information and lending support to one's and others' societies. 

A handbook for resolving both types of terrorism will shortly be released to 38 different countries and will also be available online for free perusal. Donations are optional and hard-copies will also be available for purchase with all proceeds going to not-for-profit MEDP projects.

The first IAIPAT summit will, initially, draft a constitution that will serve to structure the network and proceedings during and between summits.
