Homophobe banned from London uni for ‘gay disease’ remarks
By Sam Rigby
A homophobic preacher has been banned from a London university for claiming that being gay is a “disease”.
According to the London Evening Standard, Imran ibn Mansur blamed “filthy Western culture” for encouraging homosexual behaviour.
The former rapper said that homosexual urges should be “supressed”, adding that it comes “under the category of ‘obscene, filthy, shameless’ behaviour.
The 24-year-old hosts events to help people become spiritual “superheroes”, but the University of East London has banned him from appearing on campus. He was scheduled to hold an event this week.
In a video posted online earlier this year, Mansur advises a gay “brother”: “It’s not something you were born with, the same way a person who’s sick, we’re all born healthy but then you get an illness so you take the treatment to get rid of not only the symptoms, but the disease.”
Last month, the London School of Economics lost £22,000 of funding over “sexist, homophobic and classist” leaflets handed out by the men’s rugby club – read more here.
