A supporter of a banned terrorist group who condones suicide bombing is to speak at Birmingham University this week, raising further fears about the spread of Islamic extremism on campuses.
Azzam Tamimi, a Palestinian academic who is now based in London, is infamous for declaring that sacrificing oneself is a "noble cause".
He has said that he would blow himself up in a strike against Israel, were he allowed back in the country, and has declared his support for Hamas, which is outlawed in Britain under the Terrorism Act.
He told the BBC in 2004: "You see, sacrificing myself for Palestine is a noble cause. It is the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity."
