Some disturbing facts about our universities: *100 extremists a year lecture at UK universities: *fanatics are given a platform to spread hatred of the West despite ministers demanding crackdown on radicalism; *last year, there were 123 speeches by extremists at leading universities; *more than twenty university students were convicted of terrorism last year, and the University which has had the most extremists is Queen Mary, in east London. Universities should be the best place to challenge extremist ideas, yet this is not happening. Extremism on university campuses is a very serious issue. Researchers carried out an exhaustive survey of social media and university websites and other literature to log speaking events. Evidence shows the speakers expressing views such as claiming that there is ‘a Western war against Islam’. They support individuals convicted of terrorism offences, and express intolerance or opposition to non-believers. Hardliners also oppose democracy and speak in favour of sharia law.
