An Oxford student has been suspended by the university after trying to recruit for an extreme Islamist organisation.

Third-year engineering student Danial Farooq, 21, now faces an investigation after expressing support for jihad.

He says he is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir which seeks to establish an Islamic state under Sharia law and is banned in more than a dozen countries worldwide – though not in the UK.

He claimed he is ‘close’ to gaining supporters at Britain’s oldest university and told an undercover Daily Mail reporter he supported jihad to ‘spread’ Islam.

Mr Farooq, who is from Brent in north London and studies at Wadham College, said: ‘There’s a few brothers who believe that the problem of our time is political and that the solution is for Islam and a [caliphate].

‘I believe if there was 50 to 100 hizbis (Hizb ut-Tahrir members) – just students – in all of the UK, if there was even five hizbis in Oxford, if you could influence two or three, that could change the whole Muslim unity. Because that’s how it all starts.’

Asked about his recruitment success he said: ‘There’s a few I’m trying to convince. There’s a lot of potential in Oxford in terms of the influence. A lot of people are from elite backgrounds – and even the ones who aren’t... end up in elite backgrounds.’

The National Union of Students banned Hizb ut-Tahrir from campuses in 2004, saying it sought ‘to threaten, demonise and attack the lives of students’. 

Tony Blair and David Cameron also tried to ban it but failed because it does not overtly advocate violence.

Emma Fox, a research fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, a counter-extremist think-tank, said: ‘This Daily Mail investigation has exposed a grave threat to the safety of students at Oxford that should never have been allowed to fester.

Mr Farooq, who is from Brent in north London and studies at Wadham College, said: ‘There’s a few brothers who believe that the problem of our time is political and that the solution is for Islam and a [caliphate]

In the video, Mr Farooq abbreviates the word 'jihad' to 'J' after he said he needed 'to be careful' 

‘That such an insidious group has found its way into such a prestigious campus shows the depths of Britain’s extremism problem.’

The Mail revealed last year how Hizb ut-Tahrir claimed it had ‘brothers’ who recruit at Oxford.

Mr Farooq, who claims to be ‘rebuilding’ the organisation on campus, invited an undercover reporter to several one-to-one meetings at a student hangout near the university.

He also emailed Hizb ut-Tahrir literature which read: ‘Ever since the dawn of Islam, the struggle has been at its fiercest between Islam and kufr [a derogatory term for non-Muslims]... it is a matter for which jihad has been made one of the most important duties.’ 

Mr Farooq said: ‘That bit is talking about punishment and jihad. I need to be careful. There’s a lot of people here. We’ll call it J. We don’t see it as an aggressive thing.’

The 137-page leaflet goes on to say it’s permissible for Muslims to kill those who leave the faith ‘even if they numbered millions’.

An Oxford spokesman said it ‘takes its responsibilities under Prevent [the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy] seriously’. 

A prominent Hizb ut-Tahrir speaker confirmed to an undercover reporter that Mr Farooq is in the group. 

But a spokesman said it was ‘not aware of any member of the party named Daniel (sic) who has studied at Oxford’. Mr Farooq declined to comment when approached last week.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
