The truth is that Britain has created a breeding ground for religious terrorists. I have a number of Muslim friends in Nigeria who have expressed fears that their sons, who are studying at British universities, might be caught up in Islamic fundamentalism. They are worried about the company they are keeping and by changes in their attitudes.
Their children are becoming intolerant of other religions, developing a kind of holier-than-thou stance even towards their fellow Muslims. Holier, or purer, than thou — that sums up the mental conditioning. It is the beginning of a religious psychopathy that ends in bombs in underpants. One friend with a son at university in the northeast of England has not — yet — pulled his son out but he is certainly keeping a watchful eye on him. He has reason to be worried.
Where are these students developing these attitudes? Mostly off-campus in local mosques. There are so-called schools of Islamic teaching attached to mosques in certain British cities. These ghetto schools, which are often situated in innocuous places, are a real problem in Britain. You have them in many of your northern cities; you have them in London. They are not mainstream Islamic schools.
What their mullahs recruit are impressionable youths who have been extracted from the regular Islamic schools and mosques and taken for special grooming for a narrower, more fundamentalist view of Islam. I do not know how many such schools there are but I have met the products of these schools in Britain.
Wole Soyinka, 75, was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1986. His plays are written in English but they incorporate the music, dance and words of traditional African festivals.
Born near Abeokuta, in Nigeria, Soyinka grew up in an Anglican mission compound. He came to Britain to study drama at Leeds University and later worked at the Royal Court Theatre in London.
His work has openly criticised the Nigerian government. In the 1960s he was imprisoned for two years during the Nigerian civil war and spent much of that time in solitary confinement. He was later exiled for speaking out against General Sani Abacha.
Soyinka has published plays, novels and several volumes of poetry, including Poems from Prison, A Shuttle in the Crypt and Mandela’s Earth and Other Poems. He now lives in America.

Some people have just got too much time on their hands....
Not me.
Nor I!
There is something to be said for some control of universities. In the US the public has say in public school curriculum. And, with the established church and all, it would seem even more acceptable in Britain.
Now every other nation on earth is domestically culturist. Their universities promote the majority culture's values. The problem with our leaving our universities totally open and devoid of collective message or purpose, is that they invite other groups to come in and spread their culturist point of view.
Without judging, lets look at some dynamics. It seems that young people like to rebel, lead, and feel that they are a part of a movement. Schools are important for this reason. Hopefully they get the student to be on our team. If not, they rebel by creating a new paradigm for the West.
When we do not step in, other groups do. The dynamic here is that an actual void is created as this is a time in their lives when young folk crave mission and leadership. Incoherent multicultural curriculum does not fill a basic human need.
To anticipate an objection, I do not think that having the west see its interest and prioritize them in western public universities requires propaganda. We have a good track record. And, we derive glory from criticizing and improving our civilization. We look good after ALL THE FACTS are in.
We just get in trouble when we provide incoherent content, that does not tell our story, And allow others to lead crusades on our campuses.
CJ, I agree with your strategy except that in Australia, at the risk of making a sweeping generalization, the left wing ideology rules the roost at Universities.
Lex,
Where did you get the idea that I didn't think they did? The left and the Jihadists rule the university. The Left loves the anti-establishment nature of Islam. Islam loves useful idiot 5th column allies. There will be blood!
