British Schools Urged to Spy on Muslim Students

The Guardian newspaper reports that college professors and staff in Britain may

soon be asked to spy on " Asian-looking " and Muslim students they suspect of

involvement in Islamic extremism. The paper obtained an 18-page document that

reveals Britain’s Department of Education has drawn up a series of proposals

on how the spy program should work. Teachers are likely to be asked to report

suspicious students to a special branch of the government. Wakkas Khan, the

president of the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, said the program is

potentially the widest infringement of the rights of Muslim students ever in the

country.

 

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances,

there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in

such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest

we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
