University cancels talk on Nazi-Islam link upi.com LEEDS, England, March 15 (UPI) -- A British university canceled a talk about purported links between Nazi and Islamic anti-Semitism, claiming security problems. Matthias Kuntzel, a German political scientist, was scheduled to speak Wednesday night at the University of Leeds as the introduction to a two-day workshop on "Hitler's Legacy: Islamic Anti-Semitism in the Middle East." He was told during the day that the event was off, The Telegraph reported. Two members of the German department accused the university of caving to pressure from Muslim groups. "I was told it was for security reasons -- that they cannot shelter my person," Kuntzel said. "But I don't feel in any way threatened. I know this is sometimes a controversial topic but I am accustomed to that and I have the ability to calm people down." Kuntzel said the university apparently received e-mails that were "very very strongly worded," although not overtly threatening.
