Banned Jihadi Group in Push to Infiltrate UK Campuses
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) David Rose - Prominent members of the British branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, whose stated goal is to establish a global Muslim caliphate governed by sharia law, have been the keynote speakers at ten separate events at UK universities in the last 18 months, despite a longstanding ban on the Islamist group by the National Union of Students. The failure to mention the speakers' Hizb ut-Tahrir affiliations in publicity has prompted the Jewish Community Security Trust (CST) to warn that the group has been trying to "infiltrate universities by covert means....This is a well-known extremist organization with a long record of spreading anti-Jewish hatred, and a history of using front groups to get their speakers onto campus," a CST spokesperson said.
