Jews, gays and kaffirs are “filth” says fanatical cleric
Universities fail to block “gateways” to fundamentalism and terrorism
London – 24 February 2010
In defiance of its own equal opportunities policy, King’s College
London (KCL) is hosting the Muslim fundamentalist fanatic, Sheikh
Abdullah Hakim Quick, this Thursday, 25 February, at 6pm in the Raked
Lecture Theatre, The Strand, London.
He is anti-Semitic and homophobic. He denounces the "filth" of Jews (Yahood) and kaffirs.

He says homosexuals should be executed.
Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Quick is on record as preaching:
• AIDS is caused by the “filthy practices” of homosexuals
• Homosexuals are dropping dead from AIDS and “they want to take us all down with them”
• The Islamic position on homosexuality is “death”
• Homosexuals are “sick” and “not natural”
• “Muslims are going to have to take a stand [against
homosexuals] and it's not enough to call names” (this last point comes
close to an implied threat of violence).

"King’s College would not host a white supremacist who advocated racism
or death to black people. Why the double standards?” queried human
rights campaigner Peter Tatchell of the lesbian and gay rights group
OutRage!
"The Islamic Society should not be promoting this fanatic. By giving
him a platform it is complicit with homophobic and anti-Jewish hatred.
It is colluding with intolerance.
"The complacent, hands-off attitude of the Vice Chancellor is appalling.
“King’s College has an equal opportunities policy that prohibits the
promotion of hatred against minorities but it is not enforcing it. The
university is not a safe place for Jewish and gay students when it
facilitates a vicious homophobe and anti-Semite like Sheikh Abdullah
Quick.
“Sheikh Quick was hosted last week by City University and is being
given a platform by the University of East London this coming weekend.

“Several London universities are hosting other fundamentalist clerics,
such as Abu Usamah, who advocates the killing of gay people and of
Muslims who abandon their faith. He also endorses the beating of young
Muslim girls who refuse to wear the hijab. See here:

“Too many student Islamic Societies are promoting hate-mongering
clerics. These clerics are much more extreme than the BNP. They are
religious fascists.
“University authorities are complicit with the propagation of Islamist
fundamentalism. They are allowing their campuses to be used for the
promotion of extremist interpretations of Islam.
“Many Vice-Chancellors are too weak and cowardly to take a stand. They
fear being branded racist and Islamophobic. Instead of challenging
these false slurs, they cave in to the hate-preaching fundamentalists.
“The encouragement of homophobia and anti-Semitism is one of pathways
to Muslim radicalisation. It helps create a fanatical, anti-human
rights mindset that can later develop into support for jihadism and
terrorism.
“Even though many Muslims who are homophobic and anti-Semitic do not
sympathise with terrorism, all terrorist-supporting Muslims are
strongly anti-gay and anti-Jewish. Many begin their radicalisation with
hatred of women, gays and Jews. They then progress to hatred of kaffirs
and apostates. These hatreds can be stepping stones to the eventual
justification of holy war, terrorism and suicide bombing.
“The failure of many university authorities to take a stand against
homophobic and anti-Semitic clerics is complicity with fundamentalism
and radicalisation. It is collusion with the gateways to terrorism.
Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Quick has been also promoted by the so-called
Islamic Human Rights Commission. The IHRC recently advertised one of
his lectures,” added Mr Tatchell.

Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Quick was featured in Voice of Islam, broadcast
in New Zealand on 29 September 2003 on Triangle Television. During the
programme, Quick addressed viewers about “Challenges Facing Muslims in
the New Millennium”. Toward the conclusion of the lecture, Sheikh Quick
expressed fanatical homophobic views. In summary, he said:
• AIDS is caused by the “filthy practices” of homosexuals
• Homosexuals are dropping dead from AIDS and “they want to take us all down with them”
• The Islamic position on homosexuality is “death”
• Homosexuals are “sick” and “not natural”
• “Muslims are going to have to take a stand [against homosexuals] and it's not enough to call names”.
Complaints about the programme were upheld by the Broadcasting Standards Authority of New Zealand. See here: http://www.bsa.govt.nz/decisions/2004/2004-001.htm
