Centre for Social Cohesion report featured on Newsnight

The Centre for Social Cohesion's latest report 'Hate on the State' was featured extensively on BBC's Newsnight last night.

The report - which is available online - examines how many of the UK's public libraries have promoted Islamic extremism by stocking books by convicted preachers such as Abu Hamza al-Masri and Sheikh al-Faisal.

Douglas Murray, the director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, told the BBC that the Tower Hamlet's books collection "is a collection that is warped towards one particular extreme interpretation of Islam."

The programme showed the report's findings being endorsed by Tariq Ramadan, a leading Muslim thinker, Haras Rafiq, the leader of the Sufi Muslim Council and Ed Husain, the author of 'The Islamist'.
