The news that universities are being asked to spy on their students was
met with alarm, if not surprise, by Muslim and "Asian-looking"
students. We should all be concerned, however, at measures that stoke
suspicion and division, and ultimately play into the hands of those
members of society who wish to engage in terrorism.
This leaked proposal comes on the back of recent comments by
politicians talking of self-imposed apartheid by Muslims, one
government minister calling for a teacher to be sacked for adhering to
her religious beliefs and another denouncing the mainstream Muslim
Council of Britain.
