Separating the beliefs of Hizb ut-Tahrir from violence is, Ali said, “a technicality in their minds rather than in reality.” “They believe that actions may be allowed by their interpretation of Islam, but as a group they don’t do those actions,” he said. “But the language and rhetoric they use will highlight the reality of their views in an objective sense,” Ali said.

Islamic conference coming to Ontario is guided by manifesto calling for ‘jihad’ and Muslim caliphate

Hizb ut-Tahrir manifesto outlines totalitarian, misogynistic, antisemitic worldview, where Islamic law is paramount, and Israel must be exterminated

An Islamic group facing a withering reception to plans for a conference dedicated to overthrowing governments to start a Muslim caliphate has issued a rare media statement denying it poses a security risk, and accusing critics of creating fake news.

The organization’s own materials, however, including a detailed manifesto, bluntly outline the group’s starkly anti-democratic, totalitarian, misogynistic, intractably monotheistic, militantly antisemitic worldview, where unprovoked jihad is a routine duty, Islamic law is paramount, and Israel must be exterminated — not even “a square inch” of the Jewish state can exist without constant war.

Their goal, Hizb ut-Tahrir’s manifesto says, is to ensure “Islam encapsulates the world.”

Unnamed officials of Hizb ut Tahrir Canada, a branch of a strict international organization that is banned in several countries, issued a stern denial their conference poses a threat after a public outcry to its planned resurrection of their Khilafah Conference, a meeting that was abruptly cancelled last year after its sister organization was declared a terrorist entity in Britain.

“Hizb ut Tahrir categorically rejects the use of violence or material means in its methodology. The accusations linking the party to terrorism, extremism and violent activities are fabrications aimed at tarnishing its reputation,” said the statement released Tuesday night.

“In light of the recent false accusations directed against Hizb ut Tahrir, it is necessary to clarify the truth and expose the baseless nature of these claims,” it said.

Their statement, however, seems at odds with the political organization’s internal guiding documents, and perhaps uses linguistic nuance and ambiguity to gain wiggle room.

The planned Khilafah Conference, calling for a Muslim caliphate where everyone lives under Islamic Shariah law, was originally scheduled for Jan. 18 at a secret location in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, but over the weekend, after a backlash from city officials, it was rescheduled for a secret location in Hamilton.

Consider it ended. Take a well deserved bow everyone who took a stand, made their common sense views known and are responsible for the cancelling of this abomination. That includes JNW!
