Britain, tied in the Gordian knot of multiculturalism and Political Correctness, is struggling with the threats to it security from Islamic ‘extremists’.
The government on Friday published guidance for universities and colleges on dealing with attempts by Muslim extremists to recruit students. The report from the Department of Education said there was evidence that higher education facilities may have been used for researching violence or promoting radical ideas.
I guess someone at the Department of Education was doing their homework. So what do you do about it? Publish guidelines, of course.
"The guidance provides a recognition — that I believe must be faced squarely — that violent extremism in the name of Islam is a real, credible and sustained threat to the UK. And that there is evidence of serious, but not widespread, Islamist extremist activity" in higher education, said Higher Education Minister Bill Rammell. The guidance is intended to bring institutions up to date on the implications of recent legislation, and to sensitize staff to the issues, the department said.
I have a better idea. Chuck the guidelines and enforce the sedition laws! If your enemy is recruiting foot soldiers on your soil you lock them up.
The response from the educational community – ‘concerns’ – not about the threat to the security of the nations but….
Sally Hunt, joint general secretary of the University and College Union, raised concerns about possible conflicts with freedom of speech. It is not acceptable for individuals, staff or students to be asked to compromise their duty to teach or their wish to learn through debate and argument because of this advice," Hunt said.
Right. It’s the duty of every professor to make sure that the proper debate and argument takes place while the recruited extremists plant a bomb in the student union.
Perhaps Ms Hunt whold consider this excerpt from an article at the Israel Related web site:
The illusion that Islam can be housebroken so that Muslims stop blowing up inside the house is just that, an illusion cultivated by the same refusal to confront the problem that motivated Bush' statement. For the moment Europe and America are frantically spreading newspapers everywhere while pretending they're spreading out the newspapers for everyone as if a family trying not to make their incontinent dog feel bad, lay down the papers equally for their spouses and children as if it's a problem for the entire family, rather than for the nasty stray they've insisted on adopting and remaining loyal to, no matter how often it bites their children.
