Detroit terror attack: British university 'complicit' in radicalisation
Source: Telegraph (UK)

University College London, where Abdulmutallab was recently president of the Islamic Society, has been criticised for “failing grotesquely” to prevent extremists from giving lectures on campus.

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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRozXRCTPz4">a special five-minute video on YouTube.

3. Still waiting for the Brits to grow their spines back
when they allowed Muslims to demonstrate against UK soldiers and celebrate their deaths I almost puked. What's happened to that country?

4. Why slam the Brits for being "spineless"?
When that's the kind of 'free speech' that would also be allowed in the US.
