'Extremist Students Consistently Given A Platform At Westminster', While 'Useless' SU Does Nothing
Westminster University has been accused of "consistently" giving extremist students and visitors a platform, while the "useless" student union remains inactive.
One second-year student told The Huffington Post UK many members from the university's Islamic Society held "uncomfortably pro-politically Islamist views", while the student union president admitted the gay and transgender student community "feel unsafe".
A graduate at Westminster also published a stream of tweets, culminating in asking his former institution to "sort your shit out", saying discrimination against "gays, non-Muslims, and moderate Muslims was definitely a recurring issue from the extremists".Speaking to HuffPost UK, Rumman, who did not wish to have his surname published, said many of Westminster's Muslim students are moderate and liberal, and "friendly".
"The problem comes with a certain number of pupils, societies and the sheer ignorance of the student union," he says.
"The Islamic Society at the university for one, is known to invite radical preachers at events and having seen their members (note I am not a member of this society) it is safe to say there is an uncomfortably pro-politically motivated Islamist view held by many of them.
"The view held in the university in general is quite opposed to this, as most Muslims who attend are either very moderate and liberal, or non-practicing but there is a sense that the student union is useless when it comes to dealing with the issue. A few years back the person elected to become the student union's president was well known to have links with Hizb-ut-Tahrir, an extremist organisation, this was well published in the media."
