The UK’s National Union of Students (NUS) has rejected a motion condemning the radical Islamic State terrorist group—also known as ISIS or ISIL—on the grounds that it could be considered “Islamophobic,” sparking a row over the dominance of radical-left groups within the student body.

The decision by NUS’s National Executive Committee to shoot down the motion is all the more shocking given that the same body adopted an aggressive bill just over two months ago condemning Israel and calling for a boycott of the Jewish state.

It comes as Kurdish fighters continue to battle ISIS in Kobane, stymieing the jihadi group’s bloody advance through Syria. Rights groups have said that ISIS’s brutal military campaign throughout Iraq and Syria amounts to ethnic cleansing of “historic proportions”, as non-Sunni Muslim groups—including Shias, Christians and Yazidis—have been targeted with rape, mass killings and forcible conversions. …

So, so, clueless.

Perhaps a few months forced to live in black bags and being beaten if they dare show their faces would shed a drop of light. Or given a hundred lashes if they dare to dance to a music video.

But if they can’t understand what is happening so in front of their faces, they are lost. Just lost.
