LONDON (Iranian?) ex-Muslim professor stops debate because of presence of radical Islamist on the panel who supports sharia and stoning

Professor Reza Moradi interrupted a talk on immigration organized by the University and College Union (UCU) held at the London Metropolitan University, to criticize the decision to invite Mohammed Kozbar, vice president of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB), to take part in the discussion panel.

IB Times  “MAB is what is known as a ‘soft’ Islamist organization, normalizing and justifying terrorism, the Caliphate and sharia laws,” Moradi wrote on his Facebook page after the incident.  “I am outraged that my union would share a panel with an organization, despite its links with the Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, its defense of death by stoning for adultery and support of the death penalty for apostates such as me.

“This is not standing with immigrants and refugees – many of whom have fled the brutality of Islamofascists in our own countries, including myself – and of course many Muslims.” “I don’t want my university to give legitimacy to any kind of political movement.

Kozbar believes that what happened at London Metropolitan is not an isolated episode. “I believe there is a coordinated campaign to prevent Muslims, regardless of their views, from speaking at universities and other public spaces. This is a discrimination against the Muslim community that further fuels Islamophobia.”
