Commentary on UCL 'Islamists'

Commentary: Douglas Murray, Daily Mail, UCL professors and students: still turning a blind eye to Islamists on campus, 19 Jan 2010, "One of the few positive things came at the end in the floor speeches. A delightful and pious young Muslim stood up and said that in his experience the Islamic society on campus was certainly radical and that was why he had not joined it and wouldn’t go to their meetings. As he said, we have to admit there is a problem. But as the NUS and UCL representatives showed again last night, they are a very long way from doing that."
