Times attack on Muslim college
An Islamic college accused of teaching extremist doctrine has hit back dismissing the article in The Times newspaper as immature and unfounded and describing it as a classic example of an Islamophobic report that incites to violence and hatred. Hawza Ilmiyya in London, a Shiite seminary, labelled Sean O’Neill’s report as totally biased, erroneous and shocking, that was done to "provoke tension in different parts of society between Muslims and non-Muslims" and which has since led to the institution receiving threatening phones calls and death threats.
The Times is evidently bidding to become the most Islamophobic "quality" paper in the UK. It recently devoted a double-page spread to Abu Izzadeen of the tiny, loony Saved Sect and an ex-Nazi fruitcake named David Wyatt – implying that these ridiculous individuals represent significant elements within Islam.
