Cambridge’s Farah Ahmed: study engineering “to produce weaponry for Jihad”

Cambridge University’s education faculty – former home of Jason Arday – has appointed as assistant research professor a woman who wrote that Muslims should study engineering and computers “to produce advanced weaponry for Jihad in order that the deen [Islam] may dominate over all other deens.”

This is the fourth in our series of articles about Farah Ahmed, a former activist in the racist, extremist and separatist group Hizb ut Tahrir, now banned as a terror organization, who has been given a senior role by Cambridge training the future leaders of the teaching profession.

Two weeks ago we covered one chapter Ahmed wrote in a Hizb pamphlet – published in 2002, and republished in 2017 (Ahmed was not involved in the republication) – where she attacked “western education” as a “threat” to Muslims, condemned democracy and integration, and criticized British schools for teaching pupils that child marriage is wrong.

However, the same pamphlet includes a second, even more radical chapter, co-written by Ahmed and another senior Hizb activist, Nazreen Nawaz, head of its women’s section. This describes Hizb’s plan to create a fully Islamic education system as part of the Islamic dictatorship, the Khilafah, which is its core goal. As the chapter puts it: “nothing will be contained within the curriculum that contradicts with Islam, such as the teaching of the ideas of freedom, nationalism, democracy or evolution in a positive light.”

DRONDEF (Drone Defense System) is an integrated counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) developed by ASELSAN as part of the Steel Dome air defense architecture. It employs a layered architecture combining sensors, electronic warfare systems, directed-energy weapons, kinetic effectors, autonomous interceptor drones, and high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) systems to counter mini and micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) threats. According to ASELSAN, the system has a detection range of up to 10 km, with all subsystems integrated through a unified command and control (C2) center supported by artificial intelligence. The system comprises the following components:

İHTAR counter-UAV system (detection and jamming)
GÖKBERK 20 kW laser weapon systems
KORKUT 25-25 mm programmable airburst weapon system
GÖKALP autonomous interceptor drone
EJDERHA AD high-power electromagnetic (HPEM) weapon system
ŞAHİN LITE and ŞAHİN DUAL airburst weapon systems
MİĞFER counter-FPV system
Kangal anti-drone and Electronic warfare (EW) suite.
GÖKER 35mm A multi-purpose, single-barrel weapon system.

When a country like Turkey is developing first-class systems the US can no longer risk turning off the domestic production of engineers.

Young Americans will not spend $250,000 and four years of their time going to college to learn about engineering unless there will be reliable future employment for American-born engineers.
