A university's Islamic society promoted a "hard-line Islamist ideology" which intimidated minorities and struck fear into Jewish students, researchers have revealed.
The counter-radicalism think tank Quilliam, which compiled the report into the Islamic society at London's City University during the past year, said such extremism could provide a "launch-pad for Islamist-inspired terrorism".
The report said that the ISoc leadership had advocated jihad and that its behaviour had "increased religious tensions on campus". Saleh Patel, the president of ISoc, was recorded at Friday prayers telling members that kuffir (unbelievers) should be killed, adulterers stoned and that shari'ah law should be implemented in Britain.
The report said: "ISoc members sought to create a globalised 'grievance-based' Muslim identity that was hostile to non-Muslims and paranoid and suspicious of outsiders."
