London-based Group Seeks One-World Islamic State by Terence P. Jeffrey Posted Aug 10, 2005
After British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced last week that his government would deport foreigners found to be “fostering hatred” and ban a Muslim radical group called Hizb ut-Tahrir, the London Evening Standard reported that officials in Blair’s Home Office were “stunned.”
“Home Office officials had advised against the move just a few weeks before,” the paper reported, “and the department’s own study of Muslim youth found the group was non-violent.”
The Financial Times said: “Home Office officials have since confirmed that Hizb ut-Tahrir is not a terrorist group.”
The London Daily Telegraph sought the reaction of Sheikh Muhammad Umar, who last weekend chaired England’s first-ever Muslim unity convention, held in Manchester. “The youngsters of this country follow [Hizb ut-Tahrir] and listen to them,” the sheikh advised. “If we start banning them, caging them and putting them in prison and isolate them we are not going to get anywhere.”
So, what exactly is Hizb ut-Tahrir? And why would it inspire a liberal like Tony Blair to ban it in Britain—a move that may require government actions that in the United States would violate constitutional protections for freedom of speech and religion?
The group, whose name means “Party of Liberation,” was founded in the 1950s in Jerusalem. Today, wrote Ariel Cohen in a 2003 study for the Heritage Foundation, Hizb “is a clandestine, cadre-operated, radical Islamist political organization that operates in 40 countries around the world, with headquarters apparently in London. Its proclaimed goal is jihad against America and the overthrow of existing political regimes and their replacement with a Caliphate (Khilafah in Arabic), a theocratic dictatorship based on the Shari’a (religious Islamic law).”

One islamic world- works for me- I suggest Pluto.
Exactly. Let the banning, caging & imprisoning begin!
These Islamofacists believe they are conducting the prophecied 4th Great Jihad that conquors the world for Islam, making the entire world an Islamic world.
Unfortunately, as this item demonstrates, we'll have to take on the multi-cultists in high places before we can take on the muzzle limbs in our midst!
I got your one world - right here!
True. Anybody that read Mohammed The Pedophile's "Mein Kampf" knows that.
Actually all of islam wants the world to live under the law of allah.

Toronto Law School to Offer Courses in Islamic Law
By RON CSILLAG (Aug 10, 2005)
Printer Friendly Version (RNS) The University of Toronto's law school has hired two full-time professors to teach the institution's first-ever courses in Shariah, or Islamic law.
"The early indications are that students are going to be beating down the doors, and it's a testament to the timeliness of it, with Islamic fundamentalism in the news abroad," acting law school dean Lorne Sossin told the Globe and Mail newspaper.
The move hits close to home in Ontario, which has been pondering whether to allow Shariah tribunals to settle private civil and family disputes between Muslims -- amid vocal protests, especially from Muslim women.
"Islamic law is not just about these rules about cutting hands off thieves or discriminating against women," said one of the professors hired to teach Shariah, Anver Emon, who was recruited from Yale University. "It's a living tradition in which jurists are trying to embrace and engage in active acts of interpretation."
Shariah is being employed more and more outside the Muslim world, according to the other professor, Mohammad Fadel, a hire from private practice in New York who will incorporate Islamic legal precepts into his course in business law.
"It is increasingly relevant, say, for commercial transactions in which you have Islamic investors, and they want the contracts to be compliant. It's not something that's so obscure."
Homa Arjomand, who heads the International Campaign Against Shariah Courts in Canada, said the hirings are "like a green light for Shariah. I'm so mad."
Alia Hogben, executive director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, said Canada's legal system should be completely secular.
Ontario's attorney general is expected this autumn to decide whether to permit Shariah-based legal tribunals. A report issued earlier this year, after six months of research, recommended that religious law keep a place in family arbitration as long as safeguards are built in to protect women and children.
Some American law schools, including the University of Michigan and the University of Chicago, offer courses in Shariah.
Then 7/7 and 7/21 happened. D*mn how facts get in the way of a beautifful theory.
Good idea.
But with Liberals, if the facts don't fit the theory then you ignore the facts.
Until you get gobsmacked upside the head by the facts. This explains why there are fewer and fewer liberals and why the liberals still left get loonier and loonier. No offense to loons intended. ;^)
Oh that is so disgusting. Look at the progress they have made.
Perhaps the medical school will be next with courses on amputations and the like.
