Moazzam Begg, Outreach Director of controversial group CAGE, refused to condemn the practice of stoning women to death for adultery at a student debate. Mr Begg, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, was on a panel at the University of Exeter speaking as part of the National Union of Students’ “Students not Suspects” tour.
When asked about comments by his colleague Asim Qureshi, who refused to condemn stoning adulterous women, Mr Begg himself refused to condemn the practice. A video of the event, posted online by anti-extremism group Student Rights, shows Mr Begg prevaricating on the issue.
“As for my position, I’m very clear,” he says. “I don’t know anybody who has been stoned to death in the UK, I don’t know anybody who has been tried as an adulteress in the UK, I don’t know anybody who is applying those rules in the UK.” Students Rights say that after the even, a student pressed Mr Begg for an answer but he still refused to condemn stoning adulteresses to death.Read it all here...................
