And the UAE will not send its students to become hostages of Islamist jihadist ideology disguised as campus activism. Education is meant to free the mind, not imprison it inside hatred, intimidation, and fear.

Universities were built to sharpen thought, not to dull conscience. Yet across British and Irish campuses, Muslim Brotherhood networks have turned lecture halls into echo chambers of extremism, where antisemitism is normalized and violence is intellectually laundered as resistance. When knowledge is hijacked, wisdom walks out.

The UAE once invested in these institutions believing in excellence, discipline, and merit. Today, too many have collapsed into spaces of riots, intimidation, and ideological recruitment. A society that tolerates extremism in its universities should not be surprised when it spills into its streets.
