Abdulmutallab joined University College’s Islamic Society and was soon chosen president. The London Times reports that Abdulmutallab ‘is the fourth president of a London student Islamic society to face terrorist charges in three years. One is facing a retrial on charges that he was involved in the 2006 liquid bomb plot to blow up airliners. Two others have been convicted of terrorist offences since 2007.’

Lets bomb and invade England. That would be the smart thing to do (if you are a Conservative)

More about Islamism at the UCL:
At UCL’s Islamic society’s Islamic Awareness Week in February 2008 invited speakers included Abu Mujahid, who has incited Muslims to condemn homosexuals because Allah “hates” them.
Other Muslim radicals who have challenged the theory of evolution were also invited to take part in the event, which took place on UCL property, ironically in the university’s Darwin Lecture Theatre.
Murtaza Khan, who was filmed in a television documentary delivering a diatribe against Jews, Christians and “filthy non-Muslim doctors”, was invited to speak at the another event entitled Pearls of Wisdom in December 2007.
Abu Usamah, an extremist cleric born in the US who converted to Islam, was invited to speak at the same event and an internet video “scrapbook” of the event features a recording of his voice. The event took place on university premises.
The preacher has suggested that homosexuals and opponents of Islam should be killed. A 2007 Channel Four documentary secretly filmed Abu Usamah, of Birmingham’s Green Lane mosque, praising Osama bin Laden and saying: “If I were to call homosexuals perverted, dirty, filthy dogs who should be murdered, that’s my freedom of speech, isn’t it?”
