HIZB UT-TAHRIR PROTEST AGAINST AMERICA

March along Edgware road to US Embassy, London, 19 August 2006

Speakers from Hizb ut-Tahrir have called for the establishment of a caliphate, 'so that the armies of Islam could be unleashed on Israel and America'.

An extract of Asim Qureshi's speech:

" ... when we see the examples of our brothers and sisters, fighting in Chechnya, Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan, then we know where the example lies ... we see Hezbollah defeating the armies of Israel, we know what the solution is, and where the victory lies ... we know that it is incumbent upon all of us to support the jihad of our brothers and sisters in these countries when they are facing the oppression of the West. Allahu Akhbar!"

Poster reads: "Send Muslim armies to defend the innocent". Speakers Taji Mustafa and Maajid Nawaz have called for the establishment of a caliphate and Sharia law. Nawaz urged Muslims to realise that their reward was in paradise, and to work towards the strengthening of political Islam throughout the world, until a caliphate has been established. Then, he said, the armies of Islam would be unleashed on Israel and America.
