The Black Professor

Only the spectator and the other right-wing papers have attributed anything improper to her.

Retraction is the wrong term, she hasn't retracted anything, because nothing she said needed retraction. She's disassociating her quote from the rest of the article that, again, she didn't write.

Only a right wanger would think she needed to make an apology for something she did not say.

While they cheerfully ignore the things right wangers say on a daily basis.

The story is so tenuous and petty it's meaningless. Desperately crawling around looking for the faintest hint of dust just because she is black and they're on a roll. Its not like she's Matt Goodwin.

This stuff happens daily and no one cares or listens to disassociating statements.

So she never expressed any support and was never a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir?

the telegraph are wrong when they said "Farah Ahmed, who was previously a member of the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, was appointed as an assistant research professor in the university’s faculty of education last year."?

Support is very different to membership, which is what you had said above. And as far as I know nothing vaguely like that occurred within a decade of the group being named a proscribed group.

If the Countryside alliance were named as a terrorist organisation tomorrow it wouldn't make all the people who attended their protests a decade or more ago terrorists, unless they're still involved.

For example a person might leave an organisation seeing it is getting too extreme for them and no longer supporting it.

The commission said the head teacher of the ISF school in Slough, Farah Ahmed, admitted being a member of the party in the past but told the commission she "does not agree with all Hizb ut-Tahrir's views as a political organisation".

The Charity Commission said the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (ISF), which runs primary schools in Slough and Haringey, is not connected with Hizb ut-Tahrir. BBCnews (June 2010)
