Hizb ut-Tahrir, whom Tony Blair promised to ban, calls for jihad and elimination of Israel at London rally

Dr Imran Waheed, told followers of Hizb ut-Tahrir that there could be "no peace" with Israel and urged them to "fight in the way of Allah".

A leaflet distributed by the international wing of the organisation also called for Muslim countries to "eliminate the state of the Jews".

The remarks increased pressure on Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Patrick Mercer, the Tory chairman of the Commons Counter-Terrorism Subcommittee, said Dr Waheed's comments appeared to represent "incitement to violence" and accused the Government of performing a U-turn on an earlier commitment to ban it.

Speaking in Downing Street in August 2005, just a month after the London bombings, Mr Blair announced a wider crackdown on extremism, adding: "We will proscribe Hizb ut-Tahrir and the successor organisation of Al Mujahiroun."

SNIPPET from the link in post no. 1:

"Critics say that the group, which has thrived on university campuses, is a gateway to more extremist groups, something which it also vehemently denies."

A bit off topic, but FYI:

A quick bit of advice for my US friends not familiar with the covert agenda of British Politicians.

There's a give-away sign to look for, to show when Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Jacqui Smith or any other ZANULabour marionettes are lying through their back teeth, because their lips move.

It really is that simple.
