The Guardian (via the Jerusalem Post) is reporting that British university personnel have been asked to watch out for suspicious activity among Muslim students—and that the British government is convinced an Islamic terror network is being established within UK universities. (Hat tip: AW.)

The usual suspects are seething and whining.

Senior university personnel throughout Britain have been asked to spy on Muslim or Asian students who are suspected of being involved in terrorist activities, the British newspaper The Guardian reported Monday morning.

According to the report, police are enlisting university professors to help locate potential suspects who might be supporting terror. From now on, professors and other senior staff will be asked to look out for suspicious activity on the part of their Muslim and Asian students.

“It sounds to me to be potentially the widest infringement of the rights of Muslim students that there ever has been in this country. It is clearly targeting Muslim students and treating them to a higher level of suspicion and scrutiny. It sounds like you’re guilty until you’re proven innocent,” Wakkas Khan, president of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, told The Guardian.

The article also reported that the British government is convinced that a Muslim terrorist network is currently being established within university campuses.
