Muslims pray in the street at City University in London

Islamic extremists are intimidating a range of minority groups across UK universities including women, homosexuals and Muslims, it has been claimed.

The Quilliam Foundation’s latest briefing paper, Radicalisation on British University Campuses: A case study, cites hate incidents at City University in London during the last academic year.

The report suggests that academic institutions can become incubators for extremist, intolerant and potentially violent forms of the political ideology of Islamism.

Responding to the Quilliam report, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, of the LGBT rights group OutRage!, said: “This report is a wake-up call to complacent university authorities and student unions.

Obama putting those terror-fundiin' Saudis in their place at the G20 conference in 2009

Congratulations to Zainabal al-Khatam (video above from last year’s contest):

JEDDAH – A blind woman beat back other pretenders to take the 2010 “Queen of Beautiful Morals” crown in the now-annual Saudi contest of spiritual and filial beauty, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Zainab al-Khatam defeated 10 other semi-finalists in the eastern city of Qatif, where black-burqa-clad contestants paraded not their physical attributes but their commitment to ultra-conservative Saudi family values, Al-Watan said.

Khatam, 24, has remained at home taking care of her family since finishing school, it said. Runner-up Eiman Zain al-Din was a 20-year-old university student in business administration. Read the rest of this entry »
