I would say that University College London should expel these students.
LONDON: This is with reference to your report of November 28 titled “UK’s Muslim students boycott lectures on evolution”. These so-called educated buffoons should know one thing: whatever their actions are, they will not only affect their own studies but they will also have an impact on other Pakistani students who want to study at these prestigious colleges and universities in the UK.
Also, I fail to understand just how attending such a lecture would affect one’s beliefs. After all, the lecturer or the professor isn’t asking or demanding that students who attend classes change their beliefs? If that is how these students react to their education then one can only imagine how they will react to someone’s opinion or religious views if they not in line with theirs. I would say that University College London should expel these students.
