Radicals Infiltrate

(Fox News) - A British government study says radical Muslims have infiltrated colleges and universities, and are using Islamic studies departments to recruit students for jihad.

The London Telegraph reports as many as 25 schools have been affected — with some recruits going to Iraq and Afghanistan to fight.

The report was expected to criticize courses for failing to present Islam as a faith than can peacefully coexist with other religions.

It suggests the creation of a network of Muslim advisers to give impressionable youngsters guidance away from radical influence.
