Oxford: no questions please

Shahriar Ashrafkhorasani

A Muslim convert to Christianity accused Oxford University of discrimination and bias after a lecturer told him he could not ask questions about Islam, it was reported in March.

Shahriar Ashrafkhorasani, an Iranian-born convert from Islam and a Masters student in Applied Theology at Wycliffe Hall, is set to be ordained in the Church of England in July.

During a seminar about love in religion, the lecturer, Minlib Dallh, allegedly pointed at Ashrafkhorasani and said: ‘Everybody can ask a question except you.’ The student filed a formal complaint. Three other students wrote to the Proctors’ office to confirm Ashrafkhorasani’s story.
