| Hizb ut-Tahrir launches petition against colonial war on Iraq |
| 2003-01-08 |
| Ummahnews The British chapter of Hizb ut-Tahrir is launching a nationwide petition as part of a campaign opposing the impending military action against Iraq. "Support your local dictator"... The petition will be launched this Friday [10 January] at mosques throughout the UK. The group believes to secure the signatures of tens of thousands of Muslims. "The petition will reflect the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Britain are opposed to military action against Iraq, whether authorised by the UN or not," said a press release by the group. "Furthermore, the Muslim community views the âwar on terrorâ as a pretext employed by Britain and America to re-colonise the Muslim world and prevent the emergence of an independent powerful Islamic state." This is the Muslim fifth column I was talking about last night, in action. "No Muslim can be held accountable for his actions, simply due to his being a Muslim." Muslims can be judged only by other Muslims, who are, ummm... non-judgmental in these matters. The group says that the petition will send a stern message from the Muslim community to the UK based embassies of Muslim countries "whose corrupt rulers are partners with the West in this war against Islam and who remain stooped in silent submission while terror is rained down on the Muslim peoples of the world." Sammy's kind of the epitome of the "corrupt ruler," isn't he? And his Dr Imran Waheed, a UK based doctor and a representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, said, âThis petition, which will be signed by tens of thousands of "Butchering Iraqi Muslims is Sammy's job, and you can't take it away from him..." "Islam obliges Muslims everywhere, including those in Britain, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Muslims of Iraq in any upcoming conflict. Western colonialist states must stop their interference in the political destiny of the Muslims. The true solution to the problems the people of the world face, Muslims and non-Muslims, is to re-establish the Islamic State [Khilafah] which will be ideologically and politically independent of the West and her agents.â There's the crux of it: Islam obliges Muslims everywhere to support other Muslims, or at least the ones the turbans running Hizb ut-Tahrir say they should support. Through this sort of magic, the Iraqis are better off under a crummy regime run by a nominal Muslim than they would be under a good regime run by somebody whose religion didn't matter. The Northern Alliance in Afghanistan was somehow transformed from a group of armed Muslims fighting another group of armed Muslims into a group of "apostates and hypocrites", next thing to Lutherans. The Hizb adherents, or at least the big turbans, are viewing themselves as citizens of the ummah, and not as citizens of Britain. |

| #6 "Why Clive, look at this." "Eh, what's that, Nigel?" "Those sods down at the local mosque have been so kind as to collect all their names on this here piece of paper." "Bloody stroke of luck that is, think of the hours we'll save identifying them all." "Quite right. Might I borrow your secure telephone? I really must make a call." |

| #2 It is obvious that Hisb ut-Tahrir feel that they have the backing to start seriously challenging the government of Great Britian (Pawn to Queen Four). If the government does nothing about this, this "fifth column" will embolden itself by its tacit success and will keep pushing the envelope. It is their stated goal to create an Islamic State in the UK by hook or by crook. So now the move is in the court of the govt. and the people of the UK. We in the US should be watching this very closely, because this game may be coming to a town near you. |

| #1 Britain has gone mad. What on earth is the difference between the Hizbis - al-Muhajiroun is a breakaway from Hizb - and the Irish Republican Army? Both the Hizbis and al-Muhs celebrated the martydom of some of their members in Afghanistan, while British troops were fighting there. That is harely an expression of loyalty. As I write, India is preparing to deport all 20,000,000 illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, as a "security threat." By the way, the Muslim Students Association of North America is spewing the same jihadi garbage in America. Check out: www.khutbah.com Majorities should not be made hostage to these potential killers, in the name of freedom of religion. Deport them all. |
