Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] FSB officers have stopped the activities of a cell of Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... al-Islami (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) in Crimea. This was reported on February 5 by the press service of the agency.
All members of the cell were detained. The cell members spread the Hizb ut-Tahrir ideology among Crimean Muslims, based on the doctrine of creating a so-called global caliphate. They recruited citizens during underground meetings. During the searches, the detainees were found to have propaganda materials banned in Russia, communication devices and electronic media that were used in terrorist activities. The FSB Investigative Department opened a number of criminal cases. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on February 14, 2003, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami as a terrorist organization and banned its activities on the territory of the country. In early March last year, FSB officers detained members of a Hizb ut-Tahrir cell in Crimea who were spreading terrorist ideology in the region and recruiting local Muslims to their ranks. In addition to propaganda literature and electronic media used for terrorist activities, large sums of Russian and foreign currency were confiscated from the cell members. | |

Islamic group seeking to destroy Israel, create caliphate to hold Canada conference |
2025-01-11 |
[Jpost] Hizb ut Tahrir will be holding its annual Khilafah 2025 in Hamilton, Ontario, according to Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, who had objected to the group holding the event in her city. A group seeking to destroy the State of Israel and replace southern European, Middle Eastern, and African countries with an Islamic caliphate is set to hold a conference in Canada next Saturday. Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... will be holding its annual Khilafah event in Hamilton, Ontario, according to Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish, who had objected to the group holding the event in her city. After the Islamic group — which has been banned in many countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany — indicated in advertisements that it was moving its January 18 event to Hamilton, Parrish said on X/Twitter that she was "pleased that the peaceful and respectful residents of Mississauga will not have to endure the fall out" of the "extremists" conference. Parrish had warned on social media Friday that the city’s conditions of use for renting facilities allowed it to remove permits for organizations that exhibit "contempt or hatred." Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath issued a similar statement about the rental of city facilities on Monday, in which she also noted that she was in close contact with the Hamilton Police Service about monitoring the situation. "There is absolutely no place in our city for individuals or groups spreading messages of division or tolerance," said Horwath. HIZB UT TAHRIR CANADA DENIES IT'S A VIOLENT ORGANIZATION Hizbut Tahrir Canada denied that it was a "The accusations linking the party to terrorism, extremism, and "The party operates in adherence to the Islamic prohibition of violence in political work, relying instead on intellectual engagement and political struggle to build public opinion and bring about societal change. Such baseless allegations are part of a wider effort to distort the image of Hizbut Tahrir and suppress its legitimate political call." Advertisements for the Khilafah conference highlight the territory that HT wishes to establish the Khalifah (Caliphate), including Spain, Greece, India, much of the Balkans, and the upper half of Africa. Noted. The conference, subtitled "The Khilafah: Eliminating the Obstacles that are Delaying its Return," includes lectures on how nation-states are the enemies of Islam, how the US and colonial powers fear a restored Caliphate and how it could defeat America, and how only a caliphate would be able to "liberate Paleostine."True. On the HT Canada website, the group claimed that Moslem states didn’t come to the aid of Paleostinians because they were ruled by Western puppets and that the only way peace would reign was when Moslems and non-Moslems in the Levant would reside under the caliphate."SEEING THE carnage that the State of Israel has wreaked, not only in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... , the West Bank, and Leb ![]() but also on the leadership of resistance groups, it is easy to lose hope," HT Canada said in an October article. Y’all losing hope is a wonderful thing. Carry on. "Instead of distracting ourselves by focusing on local MPs who are not allowed to challenge Zionism or watching resistance videos hoping for some victory to fall from the heavens without sufficient effort on our part, we should commit ourselves to the only thing that can liberate our brothers and sisters and honor the blood of our deaders: toppling the puppet regimes in the Moslem world and replacing them with a righteous Islamic leadership.You just got Syria, but Iran will soon be lost to the cause, and the Gulf states are moderating . Interesting times, indeed. "It is such a leadership that will cut off the State of Israel from the supplies it desperately needs to sustain its occupation and expansion, currently supplied to it by ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , Jordan, and the UAE." In a draft constitution on its website, in which HT Canada explained how a jizya tax would be leveled on non-Moslem Caliphate residents, it explained that it would be illegal for the state to have treaties with a polity such as Israel established on "Islamic land" because it was against Islam to surrender Islamic territory. Dream on, guys. You lost the possibility of Canada when Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. Austria just elected a rightwing, populist government because of the nonsense of your brothers, so your possibilities are shrinking, and in Britain Sir Keir Starmer is on his way out, to be replaced by Nigel Farage. It’s true that Belgium is toast, and France isn’t far behind, but up in Scandanavia things are changing, too, unthinkable as that was a few months ago. "The situation of actual war has to remain with it, irrespective if there was a truce which was contracted with it by illegitimate rulers in the Moslem lands," reads the proposed caliphate constitution. "Islam requires that all of the Moslems fight against it, and so their armies must be sent to fight, and all those capable of fighting be gathered in the army, and for this to continue until the Jewish state is finished."Hizbut Tahrir, founded in Jerusalem in 1953, is against liberal democracy, according to the Canadian chapter website. Toronto-St. Paul’s Parliament Member Don Stewart said on social media on Sunday that not only should the conference be prevented from being held in Canada, but the organization should not be allowed to operate in the country. Stewart warned that Canada would be made part of a global caliphate. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs on Tuesday also called on authorities to stop the conference and to designate the "antisemitic" Hizbut Tahrir as a terrorist organization. On Sunday, CIJA noted on social media that the organization was proscribed as a terrorist organization in the UK. Then-home secretary James Cleverly said the UK had made the decision because it promoted and encouraged terrorism and praised attacks against Jewish people and the October 7 massacre. Germany banned the party in 2003 because the group rejected peaceful coexistence with Israel and advocated armed violence against Israel and Jews. According to Rooters, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Pakistain have also banned Hizbut Tahrir.

Only breadwinner of family Latif spending days at hospital with uncertainty |
2024-09-14 |
[DhakaTribune] Abdul Latif, a 48-year-old shopkeeper from Lakshmipur district, is in critical condition at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) after being brutally attacked by Chhatra League and Jubo League activists. The attack occurred during a celebratory procession following the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Latif, the sole provider for his family, was severely injured on August 6 in Bhuiyan Haat, Char Ramich Union, Ramgati upazila. As he participated in the procession, he was targeted by a group from Chhatra League and Jubo League, who attacked him with machetes, sticks, and rods, causing severe injuries including a large wound in his abdomen. His intestines were exposed due to the continuous assault. Local residents who witnessed the attack helped to stabilize Latif's injuries with a cloth before he was rushed to a nearby Sadar hospital. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was referred to DMCH and admitted at 11pm on the same day. He underwent a lengthy surgery from 12:30am to 5:30am on August 7. Latif's wife, Bibi Asiya, expressed her anguish, stating that the family is struggling to cope with the financial strain caused by her husband's inability to work. With Latif unable to walk and an uncertain recovery timeline, the family faces severe hardship. Their home in Lakshmipur has also been flooded, adding to their difficulties. But he had time to be in a "procession" Asiya has appealed for financial support from the community to help her family through this challenging time. The violence is linked to a larger political crisis involving student protests and violent clashes with political groups and law enforcement. The recent unrest has led to widespread casualties, with over a thousand people reported killed in various incidents, including police shootings. Following the "red movement" and "Bangla Spring," which led to significant unrest, Sheikh Hasina's government was dislodged, and a 17-member interim government led by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus was sworn in on August 8.

Hizb ut Tahrir Bangladesh wants withdrawal of its ban |
2024-09-12 |
[NEWAGEBD] Leaders of Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... Bangladesh at a press conference on Monday called on the interim government to withdraw the ban imposed on it by deposed Sheikh Hasina government. Hizb ut Tahrir organised the press conference at the National Press Club where its central leader Imtiaz Selim said that the Awami League government had imposed the ban on the party unlawfully in 2009. Imtiaz Selim said that, after the formation of the party in 2007, their party was not involved in any criminal and anti-state activities and Sheikh Hasina government had imposed the ban failing to face us politically. After the fall of Sheikh Hasina government on August 5, situation has changed and the ban on Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami is already lifted, Imtiaz said. So, we hope that the interim government will lift the ban on our party immediately, Imtiaz said. At the press conference, lawyer Nur Mohammad said that on behalf of Hizb ut Tahrir, they had filed a petition with the home ministry on September 5 in 2024 to withdraw the ban. Awami League government imposed the ban on the party through a press note on October 22 in 2009, which was not valid as it was not acceptable under section 18(1) of anti-terrorism law 2009, Nur Mohammad said. Nur Mohammad hoped that the interim government would take steps to withdraw the ban imposed on Hizb ut Tahrir. |

Islamists hold a mass rally in Hamburg demanding the creation of a caliphate | ||
2024-04-30 | ||
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Do they now?
According to journalists, the organizer of the action was 25-year-old student Joe Adade Boateng, who gained popularity on social networks. He criticizes the policies of Israel and Western countries.
“There must be real evidence that there will be violent riots during the rally. Suspicions alone are not enough for a ban,” she said. Lövgrun added that in Germany it is not prohibited to call for the creation of a caliphate, and the protesters did not violate the law prohibiting the propaganda of terrorism. Hamburg Interior Senator Andy Grote said he was disgusted by the action, but police found no legal reason to ban it. Journalists also established that law enforcement officers did not check the documents of the protesters, since there was no legal basis for this. According to the newspaper, the Muslim Interactive group, which is close to the Hizb ut-Tahrir group (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), was involved in organizing the rally, according to the newspaper. As reported by IA Regnum, in April, German media reported that schoolchildren in Germany are increasingly converting to Islam in order not to be outcasts in a class where the majority of Muslims. In a survey conducted by the Criminological Research Institute of Lower Saxony among 786 Muslim students, 68% said that for them the rules of the Koran are more important than the laws of Germany. Bild stated in October 2023 that there were many in Germany who despised non-Muslims and opposed the way of life established in the country. The publication published a 50-point manifesto for migrants, including noting that residents of Germany have the right to public protests as long as they do not glorify criminals or cause riots.

UK to ban Sunni Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir for antisemitism, promoting terror |
2024-01-17 |
[IsraelTimes] Home Secretary Cleverly notes that group, already banned in other countries, praised and celebrated October 7 Hamas![]() attacks Britannia’s interior minister James Cleverly said on Monday he had begun the process of banning the Sunni Islamist political organization Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... , saying it was antisemitic and promoted "terrorism." The group is already banned in Bangladesh, Egypt, Germany, Pakistain, and several Central Asian and Arab countries. "Hizbut Tahrir is an anti-Semitic organization that actively promotes and encourages terrorism, including praising and celebrating the appalling 7 October attacks (on Israel)," Cleverly said, referring to the devastating massacres by Paleostinian terror group Hamas. If a draft order laid before parliament by Cleverly is approved by MPs, the ban will come into force on January 19, making it an offense to support the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. It can also lead to an asset seizure. "Hizbut Tahrir’s praise of the 7 October attacks and associated incidents, as well as describing Hamas as ’heroes’ on their central website constitutes promoting and encouraging terrorism," a government statement said. "Hizbut Tahrir has a history of praising and celebrating attacks against Israel and attacks against Jews more widely. The UK stands strongly against antisemitism and will not tolerate the promotion of terrorism in any form," it added. Hizbut Tahrir’s long-term goal is to establish a Caliphate ruled under Islamic law. Founded in 1953, it is headquartered in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... and operates in at least 32 countries including the UK, United States, Canada, and Australia, according to the UK’s Home Office. The Islamist group has a few thousand supporters in the West Bank, where the Paleostinian Authority has also sought to clamp down on its activities.

‘We Need Him Back!' ‐ Nigel Farage Notes Trump Predicted Biden's Iran Deal Would Have ‘Deadly Consequences' for Israel and U.S. |
2023-10-12 |
![]() ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... back in office, pointing to the former president’s prediction in August that Biden’s Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate deal would have "deadly consequences" for Israel and the United States. The attacks from the Paleostinian Islamist terror group Hamas ![]() on Israel, which began on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret on Saturday and have been described as the "worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust," have so far taken the lives of over 1,000 people, including at least 11 American citizens. According to reports, the terror attacks against Israel were planned with the assistance of "Iranian security officials". This has led to increasing scrutiny of the Biden administration for signing off a payoff of $6 billion to Tehran in exchange for the release of five American hostages held in Iranian prisons. The White House has denied that it was a "ransom" payment, as the money was mostly Iranian oil profits that had been frozen in South Korean banks since 2019 when President Trump imposed a ban on oil exports from Iran and enacted sanctions on the Islamist nation’s banking sector. While the funds have yet to reach Iranian hands, it has been noted that because money is fungible, Tehran may well have financially backed the attacks with the expectation of coming into possession of the $6 billion shortly. Iran has a long history of funding Hamas, with the American State Department estimating in 2020 that Tehran provides the Paleostinian terror organization over $100 million per year and has been described by Hamas leadership as their "largest supporter". Responding to a resurfaced statement from former President Donald Trump, Nigel Farage wrote on social media on Tuesday: "Trump warned us in August that Biden’s capitulation to Iran would have deadly consequences. We need him back in charge." |
