The nonprofit Charity Navigator has rated the Clarion Project 4 out of 4 stars.^[14]

The Southern Poverty Law Center listed the organization as an "anti-Muslim hate group" in 2016–2019.^[15] 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.^[16] The organization has been described as part of the counter-jihad movement.^[17][18]

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.^[19]
