Since the Arab Spring, the UAE (along with many other ME states) have clamped down hard on Islamist activity. Should the UK follow suite and ban the Muslim Brotherhood as it has done with other Islamist organisations? (I believe this is being discussed in several EU countries, with Austria already banning the org a few years back).

Totally sensible.

Britain should be ashamed.

Just amazing that an Islamic country is avoiding British universities for fear of islamist indoctrination. What a centre of excellence.

A centre of ignorance and fear by the authorities failure to understand and deal with.
