‘Extremists’ preaching to UK student societies

Student lecture
Universities have to accommodate a wide range of political views

An anti-extremist group claims preachers it describes as radical Islamists have spoken at 180 events at 60 universities in the past year.

Student Rights also said a quarter of the student union society events it scrutinised promoted separate seating for men and women.

The group said some universities failed to uphold gender equality rules.

UK universities say they work closely with student bodies to balance freedom of speech and upholding the law.

But Students Rights claims a new generation of “extremist” speakers are touring campuses to spread their version of Islam.

It defined these as anyone who had made racist or intolerant comments, including incitement to violence or encouraging individuals to look at YouTube clips of terrorist activity.
