Whistleblower: Class \u2018confirmed my fears,\u2019 overemphasized \u2018right-wing extremism\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A British university course for government employees on \u201cCountering Terrorism\u201d included a call for the suppression of popular podcast host Joe Rogan and journalist Douglas Murray while lecturers downplayed Islamist extremism, a whistleblower said this week.<\/p>\n

Anna Stanley, who recently left the UK Foreign Office, said she attended the three-day \u201cIssues in Countering Terrorism\u201d course last year at King\u2019s College London along with other staff from the British Foreign Office, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Defence, and Home Office, Fathom Journal<\/em> reported<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe course was a deeply, existentially depressing experience,\u201d Stanley wrote in the journal.<\/p>\n

Professors and researchers who lectured the class, some former government officials, emphasized that \u201cIslamist extremism is exaggerated\u201d and gave \u201cright-wing extremism \u2026 more weight than is proportionate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Stanley remembered one lecturer suggesting that they should find creative ways to suppress popular, \u201cfar right\u201d figures Murray, a British author and journalist, and Rogan, an American podcast host.<\/p>\n

She said:<\/p>\n

\u2018To what extent should Joe Rogan and Douglas Murray be suppressed?\u2019 he asked. \u2018They have millions of followers. To de-platform them would cause issues.\u2019<\/p>\n

Concluding his talk, the lecturer told a room full of government professionals, \u2018so, society needs to find other ways to suppress them.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In an X post Thursday, Murray said the lecturer was Peter Neumann, a professor of security studies at King\u2019s College London.<\/p>\n

The academic who slandered the government\u2019s own Prevent reviewer and called for \u2066@joerogan<\/a>\u2069 and me to be \u2018suppressed\u2019 is one Peter Neumann (\u2066@PeterRNeumann<\/a>\u2069). What do \u2066@KingsCollegeLon<\/a>\u2069 and \u2066@ukhomeoffice<\/a>\u2069 have to say? https:\/\/t.co\/LbJj7osDhG<\/a><\/p>\n
