Hizb ut-Tahrir: A really nasty Islamic organization.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of many Islamic organizations and groups that have way too much freedom in the United States. As many will say, "this is about freedom of speech", I would have to agree with you. That said, HT spews anti-Semitic speech and hatred on a very regular basis. There is nothing redeeming or worthwhile about HT unless you want to see the United States become another notch on the gun stock on the march to establish a global Islamic caliphate, ruled completely by Islam and sharia law. Not a pretty future to think about. If you do not think that is what Islamic groups like this set out to do, you MUST read Gadi Adelman's Op-ed here. I cannot say enough about Gadi. He is one the most knowledgeable people in the world about Islam and terrorism. Gadi was speaking out about terrorism long before others had even given it any thought or acknowledged that it was and is a problem. A big problem. HT is but one of many Islamic groups that I think should be banned, outlawed and all their funding seized.

Why Is This Islamist Group Still Legal In The USA?
By Gadi Adelman

Hizb ut-Tahrir was due to hold its second annual conference in Chicago on July 11, before the Marriott Hotel canceled the booking. Isn’t it about time they were just banned from the U.S. all together?

Why Is This Islamist Group Still Legal In The USA?

They have been banned by most countries in the Middle East. Even not so moderate countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and yes, even Pakistan. They are barred from Germany, all the former Soviet states in Central Asia, Russia and the Netherlands.

They came close to being banned in the UK in August 2005 when then-Prime Minister Tony Blair announced his intentions to ban the group.That was until threats of riots made him drop the idea. I am of course speaking of Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Party of Liberation).

Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) still operates freely here in the US and just last year held their first conference “The rise of Islam and the fall of Capitalism”in Chicago shortly after Obama became President. According to Bridgette Gabriel of ACT for America:

“The Islamic Party of Liberation focuses on recruiting boys between the ages of 8 and 18 years old to become suicide bombers and Jihadists to advance Islam throughout the world.”

HT has been linked to being responsible for terrorist acts or plots throughout the world including Germany, Uzbekistan, Israel, China, Central Asia and Russia just to name a few. The group which was founded in 1953 by Mohammed Taqiuddin al-Nabhani has close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, one of the world’s oldest Islamist organizations. Two close associates and mentors to Taqiuddinal-Nabhani's would themselves become senior figures in the Muslim Brotherhood hierarchy.

HT hands out material and posts on their websites the call for the end of Democracy with it being replaced by Sharia law. They have even called for death to anyone that leaves Islam and continue to do so as reported on July 1, 2010 by the Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) website:

“Human rights activists had been informing Chicago area hotels of Hizbut-Tahrir America’s decision last year to distribute pamphlets (pdf) calling for the “death penalty” for those who seek freedom of religion to leave Islam. At Hizb ut-Tahrir America’s July 19, 2009 event in Chicago, they distributed a pamphlet (page 62) that supports killing those individuals who leave Islam as guilty of “treason and a political attack on the Khilafah.” The Hizb ut-Tahrir America website promoting this year’s conference in Chicago promotes links to the main Hizb ut-Tahrir website, Khilafah.com, where this pamphlet is still distributed online by Hizb ut-Tahrir.

At the December 2009 event at the Lombard cohttp://gadiadelman.com/articles/articles-by-type/53-why-is-this-islamist-group-still-legal-in-the-usammunity center, Hizb ut-Tahrir America denounced democracy, denounced “the Kafir,” and urged Muslim attendees “do not take the Jews and Christians for your allies.” HT also blamed U.S. President Obama as part of a plot to take over Muslim-majority nations. Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects democracy because it “is the rule of people, for the people, by the people.” (page 24). Hizb ut-Tahrir has called for Muslims to boycott voting.

HT has had a history of seeking to promote a global Islamic caliphate government, in seeking to train teenagers for “jihad” (page 37), has reportedly been involved in threats against Jews, Hindus, and has reportedly threatened Muslim university officials.HT also rejects the “gender equality movement” for women’s rights, saying that women must pursue a global Islamic caliphate instead. British media have reported that intelligence sources state that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed spent time with Hizb ut-Tahrir, and that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was “former member of the Jordanian branch of Hizb.” Continue reading
