UK: Teenage Trotsky is Cabinet's new adviser on radical Islam

An update to the muslim youth to advise UK ministers.

Whoever came up with the brilliant idea to have muslim youths advise UK minister and not have their ideologies checked? It turns out one of the youths, Sabiha Iqbal, is a card carrying member of the Trotskyst revolutionary party. The party is dedicated to overthrowing parliament, the state and capitalism.

'on some issues we will find ourselves on the same side as the Islamists against the state', and that 'our rule should be, with the Islamists sometimes, with the state never.'

A teenage Muslim enlisted to advise ministers on combating extremism is herself a member of a Trotskyist revolutionary party.

Sabiha Iqbal, 18, the privately educated daughter of a civil servant, belongs to the Socialist Workers Party, which is dedicated to the overthrow of parliament, the state and capitalism.

The appointment of the law student from Bradford to the Young Muslim Advisory Group was greeted with incredulity by intelligence experts yesterday.

Miss Iqbal insisted yesterday that she was not an extremist, saying 'I am Left-wing about some things and Right-wing about others.

'I agree with the equality ideas of socialism.'

Professor Anthony Glees, director of the Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies at the University of Buckingham, said: 'Ministers should be picking democratic leaders and people with experience, not people they think will bring in the "yoof" vote.

'To go for somebody like Miss Iqbal is appalling.'

The student was named among 22 members of Labour's 'Young Muslim Advisory Group', intended to 'talk to ministers and policymakers first hand about the issues affecting their day-to-day lives.'
