UK: Radical Hizb ut-Tahrir Group Holds Public Rally to "Create Positive Impression of Islam"....
HuT is banned in just about every country other than Britain, which is perfectly fitting if you ask me.....
A HIGHLY controversial Muslim political organisation, under constant watch by the Home Office, met in Ilford to discuss ways of responding to attacks on its religion.
About 250 people joined the Stand for Islam gathering at the Ilford Community Centre, Eton Road, Ilford to hear speakers from the local branch of the Hizb ut-Tahrir (Liberation Party).
Hizb ut-Tahrir is banned in some countries, and in 2005, then Prime Minister Tony Blair announced he planned to outlaw the organisation - a threat never carried out.
But the group officially rejects violence and denies critics' claims it is a "conveyer belt" for terrorism by encouraging people to believe they cannot be both British and Muslim.
Spokesman Mobeen Anway said the meeting in Ilford was designed to dispel some of the myths surrounding Islam.
Mr Anway said: "In the face of negative publicity about Islam, we want to create a more positive impression of our faith."
He said calls were made for the Muslim community to engage in positive dialogue to highlight Islamic ideals as a way of life.
Speakers Akmal Asghar and Naseem Ghani urged Muslims not to stay silent in the face of criticism and ridicule of Islam.
Hizb ut-Tahrir aims to establish an Islamic state across the Middle East, based on the system practised by the Prophet Muhammed in Medinah in the first years of Islam.

Very Funny Eric, For that Matter I supported the organisations who tried to ban HT in the UK. These are the very idiots we have to remove.

Why? Because they are honest about Islam?
Posted by:Elric66 | May 15, 2008 at 12:28 PM
They are not Honest, they are banned in many Muslim countries.
Their mothodology provoked violence therefore they got banned.
Thats why I voted and worked against them too.
We cannot remove islam, but we can remove idiots who mis interpret Islam to produce violence.

"Their mothodology provoked violence therefore they got banned."
Hey thats what the Qur'an did when Mo was conquering in the name of Islam.
"Idiots who mis interpret Islam to produce violence."
Thats what Mo did so whats the difference?

Prophet Mohammad never waged war, if it was i was due to opression.
When the Quraish stole and evicted all Muslims from Makkah, or when others declared war first.

LOL Oppression?

So why did the Caliphate conquer Spain? Spaniards were oppressing Muslims too? Your lies are getting more outrageous with every post.

TK: Jihad is holy war and is an obligation on all Moslems to make the world islamic and replace all other systems of governance. As such, it is seditious under the terms of all civilized nations. As to the issue of Moslems 'only' engaging in war as a matter of "defence," here is the correct interpretation:
Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan al-Buti, a contemporary Al-Azhar University scholar, wrote that "the Verse (9:5) (the Sword Verse) does not leave any room in the mind to conjecture about what is called defensive war. This verse asserts that holy war, which is demanded in Islamic law, is not a defensive war because it could legitimately be an offensive war (to make the world islamic). That is the apex and most honorable of all holy wars. Its goal is the exaltation of the word of God, the construction of Islamic society, and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth REGARDLESS OF THE MEANS. It is legal to carry on an offensive holy war." (from Jurisprudence in Muhammad's Biography, Damascus: Dar al-Fikr, 2001, pp 323-4)

Elric, you know that university in Paki he/she -TK- attended didn't teach them anything about history. The only thing they learned is to recite their stupid book and bang their foreheads on to the floor and pray 5 times a day and troll into infidel sites and try to convince us they - shitslam- is it, and justified.

>>Prophet Mohammad never waged war, if it was i was due to opression.<<
BWAHAHAHAHA! Sorry pal, but we know better here. We know all about your prophet of death. And we know how Muslims are instructed to lie to Kafirs (that's us) to protect the Death Cult.
Why don't you head over to Daily Kos? They'll believe anything you say.

"""Pam,

Oh wait Elric... it must be prayer time, he/she is probably washing his smelly feet in a public bathroom somewhere on planet earth and facing the black stone in mecca..
