The Centre For Social Cohesion

Last night's episode of Question Time featured Douglas Murray, Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion.

Ofcom, the UK's broadcasting regulator, has ruled that Channel 4's documentary 'Undercover Mosque' was a "legitimate investigation". Ofcom dismissed police claims that the programme-makers had intended to "encourage or incite" violence against Muslims.

The hour-long documentary, aired in January, reported that preachers in numerous British mosques had incited violence against women and voiced support for Taliban attacks on British troops.

Graham Fuller, the CIA’s former head of long-term strategic planning, writes in the lead story of this month’s issue of Foreign Policy, a global politics magazine, that a terrorist attack on the US like 9/11 would likely have occurred even if the “Muslim religion had never existed”.

“In the bluntest of terms, would there have been a 9/11 without Islam?” asks Fuller, the adjunct professor of History at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada.

A report written by Professor Anthony Glees, soon to be published by the Centre for Social Cohesion, has received coverage in the weekend press.

Both the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail reported on Glees’s study into the extremist ideas being taught at Islamic study centres on a variety of British university campuses.
