UCL has been heavily criticised in the past for its relaxed attitude to radical preachers, and security agencies are investigating whether it was there that Detroit bomber Abdulmutallab was recruited by al-Qaeda sympathisers.
As recently as last month, Abu Usama, who teaches that homosexuals and apostates should be killed, was due to speak at UCL until the university finally bowed to pressure and cancelled the event.
In 2007, when Abdulmutallab was still a student at UCL, the Islamic Society held a five-day series of lectures and seminars about the War on Terror which have been criticised as anti-Western propaganda. The lectures were advertised with a special five-minute video on YouTube.
Anthony Glees, professor of security and intelligence studies at the University of Buckingham, said UCL had no excuse for failing to root out extremism on campus.
He said: I believe Abdulmutallabs radicalisation from being a devoted Muslim to a suicide bomber took place in the UK and I believe al-Qaeda recruited him in London. Universities and colleges like UCL have got to realise that you dont get suicide bombers unless they have first been radicalised.
UCL boasts on its website that it has 8,000 staff for 22,000 students, which is an enviable staff/student ratio. What have they been doing?
All British universities must look at their Islamic Societies and demand assurances that no radicalisation will be allowed. If they cant give those assurances, they should be disbanded.

It’s a matter of PC again and fear of upsetting Muslims.
“Its a matter of PC again and fear of upsetting Muslims.”
What happens if a bunch of homosexuals and apostates get together and start preaching about how homophobic muslims are and they should be killed. Turn the tables. It might be fun to watch!
That’s precisely what’s needed, but we both know it’ll never happen.
See the book “Unholy Alliance” by Dave Horowitz as to why it will not happen in the USA.
Become totally absorbed by a given ideology and refuse to allow any counter idea to enter a thought process. Or perhaps a better description. Become a total asshole.
Thanks Ernest.
Which would concern his tutors, that he might blow up a plane or that he might not?
