UK: Universities Allow Islamist Group to Recruit
We mentioned earlier that on 15th September, UK Education Secretary Ruth Kelly (pictured) addressed a conference of university administrators, urging them to tackle the growing extremism on UK university campuses.
Shortly after this speech, Middlesex University became embroiled with a row involving its Student Union, who had invited Hizb ut-Tahrir representatives to discuss Islam at their union building, against University instructions. When the Student Union decided to ignore the ruling, Keith Shilson, the SU president, was escorted from the university premises and was suspended from his course.
Now, Hizb ut-Tahrir is once again insinuating itself onto University campuses, disguising itself as an anti-racist organisation, according to today's Sunday Times. Formerly led by Omar Bakri Mohammed, the exiled extremist and spiritual head of the Saviour Sect and Al Ghuraaba groups. Hizb ut-Tahrir was going to be outlawed by the Prime Minister, despite objections from the Muslim Council for Britain.
Though they officially denounce violence, many Hizb ut-Tahrir followers have said they approve of suicide bombings against Israeili citizens. The article in the Sunday Times states that, posing as a group calling itself Stop Islamophobia, it has already established itself in University College London, the School of African and Oriental Studies and other establishments. Luton University was already on a list of Universities which had high numbers of extremists. This list was compiled by the Social Affairs Unit in August.
This is not the first time Hizb ut-Tahrir have pretended to be another organisation to gain credibility. At the start of September, they played a series of charades to allow the Friends Meeting House in Euston (the Quakers), to host a seminar on their premises.
