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

UK: Oxford University suspends Muslim student for recruiting for pro-Sharia, pro-caliphate group

Mar 9, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There are doubtless many, many others like Danial Farooq at universities all over the UK, and no one dares even question their intentions; to do so would be “Islamophobic.”

“Oxford University suspends jihad-supporting student, 21, for trying to recruit for an extreme Islamist group,” by Sami Quadri and Courtney Bartlett, Daily Mail, March 8, 2019:

An Oxford student has been suspended by the university after trying to recruit for an extreme Islamist organisation.

Third-year engineering student Danial Farooq, 21, now faces an investigation after expressing support for jihad.

He says he is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir which seeks to establish an Islamic state under Sharia law and is banned in more than a dozen countries worldwide – though not in the UK.

He claimed he is ‘close’ to gaining supporters at Britain’s oldest university and told an undercover Daily Mail reporter he supported jihad to ‘spread’ Islam.

Mr Farooq, who is from Brent in north London and studies at Wadham College, said: ‘There’s a few brothers who believe that the problem of our time is political and that the solution is for Islam and a [caliphate].

‘I believe if there was 50 to 100 hizbis (Hizb ut-Tahrir members) – just students – in all of the UK, if there was even five hizbis in Oxford, if you could influence two or three, that could change the whole Muslim unity. Because that’s how it all starts.’

Asked about his recruitment success he said: ‘There’s a few I’m trying to convince. There’s a lot of potential in Oxford in terms of the influence. A lot of people are from elite backgrounds – and even the ones who aren’t… end up in elite backgrounds.’…

He also emailed Hizb ut-Tahrir literature which read: ‘Ever since the dawn of Islam, the struggle has been at its fiercest between Islam and kufr [a derogatory term for non-Muslims]… it is a matter for which jihad has been made one of the most important duties.’

Mr Farooq said: ‘That bit is talking about punishment and jihad. I need to be careful. There’s a lot of people here. We’ll call it J. We don’t see it as an aggressive thing.’

The 137-page leaflet goes on to say it’s permissible for Muslims to kill those who leave the faith ‘even if they numbered millions’….

A prominent Hizb ut-Tahrir speaker confirmed to an undercover reporter that Mr Farooq is in the group….

    …………………………

    *Good*. I hope that Danial Farooq is also investigated by the police.

    And yes–there are probably many more like him, at colleges all over the West.

    Gee, and I thought it was poverty and the like that turns people to jihad. I guess he is a poverty stricken Oxford engineering student.

    If beheading is the only medicine on offer, I’ll chose to be willfully sick thanks.
    Britain is now so corrupt that treason and insurrection are not just tolerated but actually defended and enabled by the present government.

    Islam is God’s wrath, make sure you see it off.

    England is lost! What did they expect with the unfettered invasion of Muslims going on for the last twenty years ! And of course , in that time, many many children were born that are now college age! Paying
    them welfare, housing, medical and allowing them to invade and take over English neighborhoods and create no go zones ! Not to mention all the terror attacks England has suffered in the last few years, there is no acclimation by any Muslim, only invasion and destruction! Wake up England!!
    London has a muslim mayor that is destorying the city and its culture! His disrespect for a sitting American
    President was beyond treasonous! And the royal family is living in a bubble !! PM Churchill is not resting easy today. The USA will not be able to save England and Europe again!!
    God save the queen. God bless America !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump 2020

    Maxwell….most would not agree that what Islam is pouring out on the world is God’s wrath being P poured out upon a disobedient sinful world but just examine the world and one will find that wrong doing is plentiful.
    Now some will say that God is not in a punishing mode …yet…and some will say that God is dead or God does not and never has existed. I tend to think that God IS God and He is much alive and shedding tears at what we have allowed to happen to a once beautiful world.
    Wrath???I do think that God uses any and everything for his purposes.

    Hizb-ut-Tahir has openly held conferences in the USA for years. They call for flying the Islamic flag atop our Capitol building in Washington and videos of their conferences have them calling for an “Islamic Revolution” in America. They, like the Muslim Brotherhood and some Arab countries want Islam to dominate the world which Muhammad wanted.

    We are supposed to have free speech but we let enemies speak in our country and against our country and people have the audacity to call people Islamaphobes.

    What this engineering student Muslim is saying is not violence (at least the aim is not violence if that works, if data doesn’t work, then violence is option #2). There are plenty of clerics and Muslims online that argue that Islam is the best thing for the world, that is, living under sharia law while they pretend all bad things happen in Islamic countries. I have seen articles in mainstream British papers where Muslim argues for why Islamic rules are best. It’s like going backwards in time.

    Education level doesn’t matter when it comes to spreading Islam. The Muslim Students Association at universities is Muslim Brotherhood, and of course, they lie and dissimulate or tell half-truths.
