Top universities 'foster extremism', says security studies academic

13th April 2008

British universities are fostering extremism through Islamic study centres which were set up to tackle that very same threat, an academic has warned.

The centres, funded by multi-million-pound donations from Saudi Arabia and Muslim organisations, have been earmarked by the Government as a key component in the drive to counter radicalisation.

But according to a report by Professor Anthony Glees, the director of Brunel University's Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies, some are proving to be counter-productive.
