Islamic Extremism in British Universities

The Report

Available for over a year

Talented student Umar Farouk Abdulmutalib was president of the Islamic Student Society at University College London. His attempt to blow up an airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day has led to claims that more young Muslims are also being radicalised while studying at British universities. James Silver investigates whether some university campuses are becoming seedbeds for extremism.
