A controversy sparked when the University of York’s Islamic Society invited Yusuf Chambers last week to speak at their event entitled ‘Patience, Perseverance and the Final Exam’. The event was criticised by Stand for Peace, one of Britain’s leading Jewish-Muslim interfaith organisations, for Chambers anti-homosexual views that he had expressed earlier.
Chamber’s speak was postponed briefly by the University due to technical issues but University later allowed the event to go ahead due to their commitment to free speech.
