Detroit terror attack: British university 'complicit' in radicalisation
-- UK: "The London university where Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab studied has been accused of being 'complicit' in the radicalisation of Muslim students."
-- Daily Telegraph Reports:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/6906751/Detroit-terror-attack-British-university-complicit-in-radicalisation.html
-- "University College London, where Abdulmutallab was recently president of the Islamic Society, has been criticised for “failing grotesquely” to prevent extremists from giving lectures on campus."
-- "UCL has been heavily criticised in the past for its relaxed attitude to radical preachers, and security agencies are investigating whether it was there that Detroit bomber Abdulmutallab was recruited by al-Qaeda sympathisers."
-- "As recently as last month, Abu Usama, who teaches that homosexuals and apostates should be killed, was due to speak at UCL until the university finally bowed to pressure and cancelled the event."
-- "In 2007, when Abdulmutallab was still a student at UCL, the Islamic Society held a five-day series of lectures and seminars about the War on Terror which have been criticised as anti-Western propaganda. The lectures were advertised with a special five-minute video on YouTube."
--- London Times: "University College London confirmed today that while Mr Abdulmutallab was a student in London he was president of the university's Islamic Student Society and had graduated in mechanical engineering."

Germany: German court gives father life jail for honour killing of daughter -- Gulsum Semin
-- DPA reports: "A German court imprisoned a Kurdish man, 50, for life on Tuesday for ordering the "honour killing" of his own daughter after being told she had lost her virginity. A son and an Azeri friend lured the 20-year-old woman, Gulsum, to a lonely country road near the Dutch border, throttled her with a rope and clubbed her to death, inflicting horrific injuries to her face."
-- "The state court at Kleve sentenced Gulsum's brother, 20, to nine and a half years in youth prison, just short of the maximum youth sentence of 10 years. He and the victim were two out of three triplets. He had confessed to the killing after he was arrested."
-- "His helper, 37, was jailed for seven and a half years."
-- "Judges said they were convinced the only motive to murder Gulsum had been that she was no longer a virgin and had secretly undergone an abortion."
-- "They said they were also convinced the father of 10, who denied the murder, had ordered his son to kill the sister."
-- "The trio were accused of jointly murdering her in March."
-- "Gulsum had rebelled against the family's Muslim-oriented rules and after suffering several beatings at home, requested help from German social workers. They arranged for her to live in an apartment, but she later moved home to her family again."
