Sydney demonstration against American War in Pakistan

Sydney, Australia, 22nd May 2009 – Over 2 million civilians have been made refugees, on top of the thousands that have been killed or injured, as a result of the Pakistani Government’s recent assault on the north-western regions of Buner and Swat. The subsequent chaos created inside Pakistan has not stopped the Zardari regime from persisting in facilitating the American agenda in the region. President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani are happy to use the sincere Muslim sons of the Pakistan army to fight other Muslims, in what is the height of treachery.

Criticism of Israel unacceptable to Australian Government

Sydney, Australia, 20th April 2009 – Following in the steps of Barack Obama and the US, Kevin Rudd and the Australian Government has decided to avoid the forthcoming UN conference on racism in Geneva. Stephen Smith, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, said that he was not convinced that the conference would not be a platform for anti-Semitic sentiment.

London, UK, April 5 2009 – US President Barack Obama has arrived in Turkey on a trip aimed at salvaging America‘s ruined reputation in the Muslim world, yet it looks increasingly clear that the visit, though rich in gestures and symbolism, offers no real change from Bush’s failed and destructive policies.

Taji Mustafa, media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain said “Obama’s trip is vital to the United States as it seeks Turkey’s help in Iraq and seeks to add tens of thousands of additional troops to support NATO’s failing Afghan campaign.”

Zardari-Gilani are humiliated but the restoration of Judges has not averted the real crisis facing Pakistan – America’s Undeclared War

London, UK, March 16 2009 – People woke this morning to the public humiliation of Prime Minister Gilani announcing that he and President Zardari had decided to restore Chief Justice Iftikhar Chauhdry and the other deposed judges. Despite the words of Gilani, everyone knows that the PPP leadership has done its level best to avoid their restoration.

It is ironic that Nawaz Sharif who is today portraying himself as the champion of the Chief Justice is the same man that led a self-imposed war against the Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah who opposed his restoration to power in 1993.

London, UK, March 3rd 2009 – Today marks 85 years since the colonialist agent Mustafa Kamal abolished the Islamic Khilafah state. Since then, the Muslim Ummah has endured division, occupation, economic stagnation and foreign domination. However, thanks to Allah (swt), evidence points to an unstoppable momentum for change and a greater call for the Shariah, Islam, and Khilafah.

Commenting on this important anniversary, Taji Mustafa, media representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain said, “Since 1924, we have ended up divided into more than fifty weak and insignificant states whose rulers have systematically colluded with colonial powers against their own people, as our brothers and sisters have been massacred in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and elsewhere. Without the Khilafah, we are without a shield, exposed to the most vicious colonialist attacks.”

London UK, 25th February 2009 – In a speech today at the London School of Economics, Communities Secretary Hazel Blears confirmed the government’s latest tactics in its strategy for Muslims to adopt a British version of Islam.

The speech hurriedly followed leaked drafts of a revised counter-terrorism strategy called Contest-2, which clearly indicated the government’s definition of extremism: to support the call for a Caliphate in the Muslim world; to support the Islamic Shariah; to believe that Jihad to fight against invasion and occupation is legitimate; to believe that homosexuality is a sin.

London UK, 17 February 2009 – Today’s Guardian newspaper report that the UK government is drafting plans that will effectively label core aspects of Islam, shared by all schools of Islamic jurisprudence, as ‘extremist’. These include the belief in the Caliphate and Shariah laws for Muslim lands; Jihad to resist occupation of Muslim land and defend against attacks by invaders; and the ruling of Islam on homosexuality. The government is yet to disclose sanctions for believing in these ideas.

London UK, 13 February 2009: US senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, commented on the Pakistani government’s apparent opposition to the ongoing American airstrikes by Predator drones in Pakistan saying, “As I understand it, these are flown out of a Pakistani base.” Former U.S. intelligence officials confirmed that Feinstein’s account is accurate.

20 Muharram 1430 AH / 16 January 2009 CE

The following is an English translation of a statement issued in Dutch by the Representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the Netherlands:

In response to the Telegraph and Bosma

Today a lecture was planned which was organized by the Islamic student association Al-Furqan, concerning the situation in Gaza and the ongoing criminal acts of the Jewish state against the children and women there. This lecture would be given by me. However some particular parties were not pleased with it and put all their efforts to stop this lecture. Indeed, they were successful in preventing the planned lecture, and in taking my word away. However they failed in the prevention of the distribution of the message. My message has reached the peoples, and they witnessed that even the word Khilafah strikes deep fear in the hearts of the assassins of women and children and those who support them.

London, UK, February 4 2009 – For all Obama’s talk of change, Hilary Clinton, unsurprisingly offered no change to US Middle East policy on her first visit to Palestine as US Secretary of State.

At today’s press conference with Israeli president Shimon Peres, she said “the United States has an unwavering commitment to Israel’s security and its right to protect itself”. US support for Israel’s murderous occupation remains a constant in US Middle East policy.

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

All Praise to Allah who said:

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
“Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them.” [TMQ An-Nur: 55]

And peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم who said: “Whosever dies without a Bay’ah on his neck he shall die the death of Jahilliyah.”

Over many months, the regimes in the Muslim world have been silent over Israel’s siege of Gaza. The Egyptian regime even blocked aid to Gaza and the Saudi regime has appeased the murderous occupiers by promoting a so-called ‘peace process’, which is nothing more than a process to strengthen Israel’s grip on the region. Their appeasement has been repaid by this massacre.

UK Khilafah Conference Rajab 2008: Islam Channel report

Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain will be holding a Khilafah conference today. To view the live stream please click on the link below: Khilafah Conference – The Need for Political Unity  

In the Name of Allah, The Gracious, The Merciful

From the time Islam was revealed, the kuffar have waged an unrelenting struggle against Islam and the Muslims.

Despite this struggle, Muslims reined victorious for thirteen centuries with the exception of a few battles during the Crusade and Tatar invasions. The ideological might of the Khilafah and unyielding spirit of Iman, coupled with the sacrifice of the Muslims continuously proved overwhelming for the kuffar. However on the 28th of Rajab 1342 AH, corresponding to the 3rd of March 1924, the Western world lead by England at the time – finally achieved what they had long desired and for which they had exerted enormous effort: the abolition of the Islamic Khilafah and the separation of Deen from state, and Islam from politics. Consequently, the West spread their control over the Muslims and their lands. This calamity was made successful through the ardent support of Western agents from both the Arabs and Turks where the traitor Mustafa Kamal was at their head.

On 29th Rajab 1429 (2nd August 2008) Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain gave an address to Muslims at�talks in London on the Party’s Global campaign throughout the month of Rajab, and linking this to its coming conference on August 16th 2008.

Dr Naseem (UK Party Chairman) spoke for about 30 minutes and took questions and answers about the month’s activities. Rajab marks the anniversary of the destruction of Khilafah state, the Islamic state of the Muslims that ruled by Quran and Sunnah for one thousand three hundred from the time the Prophet (saw) established the first Islamic state in Medina.

The most recent provocations emanating from Europe are but one in a long line of hostilities directed at Islam and the Muslims.

The West's campaign against Islam did not commence with the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, nor the production of Geert Wilder's polemic 'Fitna', nor the publication of the blasphemous cartoons, nor the establishment of the 'Stop the Islamisation of Europe' coalition, nor the banning of the hijab, nor the expulsion of Muslims, nor the secret rendition of Muslim nationals, nor the provocations of the Pope, nor the adoption of forced assimilationist policies, nor the propaganda spurting from the mouths of Presidents, Prime Ministers and politicians. On the contrary, George W Bush, the so called leader of the 'free world', has not shied away from reminding the world about the historical nature of this struggle when he makes repeated references to the 'crusades'.

In the name of Allah, The Sublimely Exalted, The All Compelling Subduer, The Abaser
 
Amongst the created there are those who believe in the clear signs He has sent down and who utilize this life on earth for works worthy of praise. And they command good and forbid evil.

On Friday 15th February, HT Denmark Protested against the reprinting of the cartoons attacking the Prophet (saw). The protest took place in Copenhagen and gathered many hundreds. Here are the official videos from the demonstration.

Inline with the governments recent push to “empower” Muslim women headed by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears,  an event was organised by the North West Regional Assembly, Friends of Islam (All Party Parliamentary Group), it was held on Monday 21st January 2008 at Bolton Town Hall, and was entitled; REALISING OUR POTENTIAL: PROMOTING THE TALENTS OF MUSLIM WOMEN.

We note with concern your recent comments concerning Muslim assimilation as expressed on Neil Mitchell’s 3AW program on Friday 11th May 2007.

Allow us to briefly re-visit some of what you had to say.

When questioned about the allocation of funding in the 2007-08 Federal Budget for the express purpose of Muslim assimilation, you responded: “Well there's every reason to try and assimilate, and I unapologetically use that word, assimilate a section of the community, a tiny minority of whose members have caused concern and after all once somebody's become a citizen of this country the best thing we can do is to absorb them into the mainstream.”

The following is a translation from Arabic of a reply to those in Holland who have called for changing the Qur’an.

The newspaper ‘Democratic Awakening’, the mouth piece of the People’s party for freedom and democracy, the VVD, has published an article titled: “The face of God in Qur’an and the Bible: The differences and Consequences”, written by a certain Frankfrie. The writer claims that the picture portrayed by the Qur’an is primitive and has no clarity and is intolerant. He further argues that the Qur’anic portrayal of God encourages hatred and violence especially against those who carry a different point of view. The writer then concludes that the circulation of Qur’an in its current form is criminal and all its texts that instill hatred and violence should be discarded.

An Open letter from Hizb ut-Tahrir to President Chirac, President of the Republic of France

Monsieur le President,

We were hesitant to write this letter and there were two reasons for this hesitance:

Firstly; we do not represent a State. We are a political party whose ideology is Islam working for the resumption of the Islamic way of life by establishing the Islamic State, the Rightly guided Khilafah State in the Muslim lands. Since we do not represent a State we felt that you might find it inappropriate that a party writes to you rather than a state writing to a major power such as France.
