“It is horrendous that This is Lincolnshire would allow Nabila Ramdani to guest lecture...she is known to support violence in France in the name of so-called muslim victims and claims that the Mohamed Mehra (who is responsible for many deaths in the Toulouse killings) is himself a victim of ' alienated immigrant angst'. She seems to think its OK to write about this stuff in the UK as if the UK would condemn France for cracking down on violence...France is a very tolerant country and has for years been held hostage by violent youths and muslim fundamentalists..so how could an intelligent person like Nabila defend these youths and attack France?”
