Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Over 100 Muslim “extremist speakers” invited to speak at universities

Sep 30, 2017 12:14 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

British universities hosted 110 events featuring extremist speakers in the last academic year, 2016/17, with the highest proportion taking place in London institutions….The extremist events listed were overwhelmingly organised by Islamic societies and groups and speakers included former Guantanamo Bay detainees and Islamists

The Henry Jackson Think Tank report authors “suggest that despite Prime Minister Theresa May’s claim that ‘enough is enough’, universities continue to be a vulnerable target for extremists promoting their messages.”

All of the UK remains vulnerable. Earlier this month, Muslim preacher Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, who called for the destruction of Britain, was allowed to enter the UK, and welcomed into parliament “as part of a delegation organised by pro-Palestinian group EuroPal.” Sabri is former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and current Imam of the city’s Al-Aqsa Mosque. He once stated in a radio sermon:

“Allah, destroy the US, its helpers and its agents. Allah, destroy Britain, its helpers and its agents. Allah, prepare those who will unite the Muslims and march in the steps of Saladin.”

Meanwhile, the UK bans Robert Spencer for warning about the jihadist agenda, and Tommy Robinson gets called an “Islamophobe” and “bigoted lunatic.” Those in the West who are most passionate in opposing any criticism of Islam or “offensive” words about it remain strangely quiet about open calls to incitement and murder by Muslim hate preachers against innocents.

The Report’s author, Richard Black, warns: “It is now necessary to take a step forwards. Extreme speakers and organisations have been regularly holding events on campuses, and advertising them to students through social media pages.” It is most alarming that young minds are being indoctrinated by jihad preachers peddling their destructive doctrines. Consider also the existence of Britain’s sharia courts, the call to prioritise Islamic finance ahead of the “possible Brexit boom,” the neglect of the young victims of Muslim rape gangs, and the punitive measures against those who warn about jihadist (stealth and violent) ambitions, it is difficult to imagine just how Britain will be able to “move forward” at this stage.

“Report: More than 100 Extremist Speakers Invited to British Universities”, Liam Deacon, Breitbart, September 29, 2017:

British universities hosted 110 events featuring extremist speakers in the last academic year, 2016/17, with the highest proportion taking place in London institutions, a report has found.

The extremist events listed were overwhelmingly organised by Islamic societies and groups and speakers included former Guantanamo Bay detainees and Islamists. Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson, who was the only “far right” speaker on the list, spoke at two universities.

The report’s authors at The Henry Jackson Society think tank says the findings suggest that despite Prime Minister Theresa May’s claim that “enough is enough”, universities continue to be a vulnerable target for extremists promoting their messages.

The extremists were invited to speak to students at elite institutions including Oxford, Bath, Warwick, and Manchester. In most cases, no effort was made to challenge or balance their views.

London was the region with the highest number of events, where 43 were hosted, and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) was the single institution to host most events at 14.

However, the authors also found that the majority of universities complied with the requirements of the government’s counter-extremism Prevent agenda, including reporting students at risk of radicalisation.

Richard Black, the report’s author, stated: “Universities are upholding their legal duty towards Prevent.

“It is now necessary to take a step forwards. Extreme speakers and organisations have been regularly holding events on campuses, and advertising them to students through social media pages.

“In most instances, these events have been unbalanced in nature, meaning that speakers are disseminating their views without being challenged.

“Only a joint effort by university staff, students, event organisers and practitioners from across civil society will ensure that extremism is challenged robustly.”

The groups that sent the most fundamentalist speakers onto campuses include the Muslim Debate Initiative, the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), the Muslim Research and Development Foundation (MRDF), the Hittin Institute, Sabeel, and CAGE. They accounted for 52.7 per cent of the events.

The anti-Israel Friends of Al-Aqsa, who are allegedly linked to anti-Semites, Islamists, and terror groups, also sent speakers. They are behind the anti-Semitic Al-Auad march in London…..

    Western universities appear to be thoroughly engaged in ritual suicide. I don’t think the description, University, means what it used to mean. Loony bin describes it better.

    Theresa May is a traitor to her country and should be removed from office.

    Very sad to see my ancestral country of origin being destroyed.

      Theresa May is naïve and unstudied about Islam, making many assumptions which are not accurate or factual, especially that most Muslims are not supremacists.

      In fact, over 60% of Muslims in all countries are supremacists who want Sharia law and a caliphate.

    No wonder there have been so many attacks in UK and there will be more. UK is still denying that Islam has a doctrine of HATE DIRECTED AGAINST DIRTY KUFAAR (Walaa wal Baraa) and also a doctrine of WARFARE DIRECTED AGAINST DIRTY KUFAAR (jihad doctrine).

    Those two doctrines are ESSENTIAL and COMPULSORY doctrines and Muslims who deny them will not enter Islamic paradise.
