Cherwell: Wadham student suspended over work for radical Islamist group
"A student at Wadham College was suspended by the university after revealing he tried to recruit Oxford students for Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist extremist organisation. Danial Farooq, a third year engineer, described his wish to 'rebuild' the organisation in Oxford to an undercover Daily Mail reporter, stating that he was 'close' to getting other students involved in the group. The Counter Extremism Project describes the group as ‘Islamist’ and ‘Jihadist’, seeking to 'unite Muslims under one Islamic Caliphate', but the Home Office has previously ruled that the group does not advocate violence, but described it as '‘anti-Semitic, homophobic, and anti-Western'".

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
