University of Amsterdam scraps lecture of terror club
The U of A has cancelled a gathering of the student group Al Furqan. A lecture was organised over the war in Gaza to which the terror organisation Hizb Ut Tahrir was invited and scheduled to take place Friday in one of the buildings of the educational institution .The speaker was going to claim that the only answer to the conflict was the foundation of an Islamic state. On top of that men and woman would sit separated. According to a spokes person the student who had asked for permission to organise the gathering did not tell what would precisely happen. The university realised it only at the last moment.
Martin Bosma, PVV spokesperson for women's emancipation and higher education had immediately posed questions in writing to Minister Plasterk about the gathering. "This is unbelievable, that the U of A will allow segregation" grumbled Bosma. What should be a bastion of knowledge now glides off to become an institution where medieval practices take place. A terror organisation that may come there to plead for a Khalifate and also implements apartheid".
The speaker of the evening, Okay Pala belongs to the terror club Hizb ut- Tahrir. Pala has come in the news before because he had made death threats in the direction of Geert Wilders. Last year he said to the Telgraaf that his club rejects free expression and democracy. Hizb ut- Tahrir (Lib eration Party) finds that the whole world must come to stand under the flag of Islam. The AIVD has already said that the group is made up of radical Muslims.
(The poster for the event says"The only solution for the misery in Gaza is the re establishment of a Khalifate".)
