UJS and QMUL JSoc Statement on the hosting of Moazzam Begg on campus yesterday
We are horrified that yesterday evening, QMUL Islamic Society hosted Moazzam Begg on campus.
On October 7th, Begg tweeted in support of the “inalienable right” of Hamas to commit the October 7th massacre. Just ten days ago, he denied that women were raped by Hamas in the attack.
Despite this, Queen Mary SU approved the event. This is truly baffling.
If those who support terror and deny rape fulfil the requirements for campus speakers, what is the point in having these procedures at all?
