One of Britain's academics, who directs the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, a world-recognized academic centre of excellence associated with Oxford University that attracts visiting scholars from all parts of the Muslim world, has accused British Muslims of failing to ensure that their children learn English and support their education. Dr. Farhan Nizami, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), noted that the parental failure alienates Muslims from mainstream society and leaves them prone to the appeal of radical Islamic groups.
Nizami should be an inspiration to American academics who often fail to identify the failings of thought systems which are destructive to the country that they inhabit. As one pundit used to say, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, that the only Communists to be found are the ones holding tenure in American Universities. The same point applies today except for the present challenge to liberty posed by contemporary thought systems.
