A year after the publication of a damning report into Islamic radicalisation among students, Britain's universities have been accused of burying their heads in the sand.
Professor Anthony Glees says many vice-chancellors are still failing to confront the issue.
His claim comes 12 months after he named 24 universities where he said extremist groups had been detected.
In a critique of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, reformist Egyptian intellectual Dr. Sayyed Al-Qimni explained why he does not believe that the movement has changed its ways and has decided to integrate into civil society. He argued that the movement assumes many guises and forms many conflicting alliances in order to further its own interests. Al-Qimni further claimed that its aim is not to serve Islam but to come to power. [1]

بدلاً من إهالة التراب عليها، والابتعاد عن الخوض فيها إيثاراً للسلامة، وفي البداية ألفت نظر وزير التعليم المصري إلى اعتبار هذه السطور بلاغاً رسمياً يطالب بالتصدي بكل شجاعة لظاهرة نقاب التلميذات والمدرسات في مصر، وتفعيل القوانين واللوائح التي تحظر ذلك على الأقل في المدارس والجامعات

Yes, it is not my purpose here to defend Pope Benedict XVI, as he certainly does not need my defense.He has over one billion Catholic followers who revere him and many non-Catholics who have rallied to defend him.
The head of the U.S. National Council of Churches (NCC) has a burden on his heart for prison inmates...if they are former al-Qaeda or Taliban operatives at GuantanamoBay.
AUSTRALIA has come well through the week that followed Pope Benedict's passing reference to Mohammed in his university address on the role of reason in religion.I never expected violence in Australia, and fully expected Moslem leaders and commentators to have their say. This is their right.
