Students given discounts for retreat with extremist preacher

Whilst many students will be heading back to their studies next week nursing bank balances damaged by Christmas excess, some students are likely to be returning having spent the festive season with the extremist preacher Haitham Al-Haddad.

Unfortunately this is unlikely to have spared their finances, with the event’s £120 price tag advertised as a discount for the time spent with Haddad.

Despite this high price though, it appears that Sabeel, the organisation set up by Haddad and behind this event, is specifically targeting student attendees, hardly a demographic known for its disposable income these days.
