Hizb ut Tahrir is not a gateway to terrorism, claims Whitehall report

SNIPPET: "The Government has opened the way for official links with Muslim extremists after civil servants said radical groups could be a "safety valve" for those tempted by terrorism."

SNIPPET: "The groups specifically named - in documents leaked to The Sunday Telegraph - include al-Muhajiroun, which has praised 9/11 as “magnificent” and Hizb ut Tahrir, which wants to turn Britain into an Islamic dictatorship under sharia law.

In the classified papers, presented last week to Coalition ministers on the Cabinet’s home affairs committee, officials say a “clear assessment” has been made that individuals “do not progress” to violence through such groups."

Appeasement.

The Sherpas at Whitehall ought to dig into their own archives.

They might find this speach by Neville Chamberlain outside the front door of 10 Downing Street on September 30, 1938:

We, the German Fuhrer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again.
We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe.
My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is "peace for our time." Go home and get a nice quiet sleep

They can then fast forward to September 1, 1939 when Hitler, having characterized the agreement as "a scrap of paper", initiated "Fall Weiss".

Wow, whadda bunch of comedians.

Well, the British are having a hard time reconciling the fact that the nation they midwifed has turned into such a shitty place.

Well, guess the Subway and Bus bombings didn’t dislodge the old mindsets from their Foreign Office.
