SNIPPET: “Dalia Mogahed, a member of President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, joined a representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) for a television interview in Great Britain on Sunday.
The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report (GMBDR) noted that Mogahed was interviewed along with Dr. Nasreen Nawaz, women’s representative for HT, on the British Muslim show “Muslimah Dilemma,” which airs on the Islam Channel. GMBDR described the program as “a show presented by members of Hizb ut-Tahrir” featuring Nawaz “in her capacity as spokesperson” for the group.”
SNIPPET: “According to Mogahed, the critical issue today is finding ways to integrate sharia and state law in Muslim-majority countries. She said her survey results showed Muslim women wanted equal rights, democracy, and political suffrage. Mogahed said the hijab was not an issue for the women, and that they were most interested in facilitating women’s rights and various good-government issues – which in their minds was congruent with sharia.”

“U.K. Islamic TV head held on terror claims,” from UPI, January 26 (thanks to Block Ness):
SNIPPET: “PRETORIA, South Africa, Jan. 26 (UPI) — The head of Britain’s popular Muslim television station was arrested in South Africa and faces deportation to Tunisia on terrorism claims, officials said.
Mohamed Ali Harrath, the force behind Britain’s Islam Channel, was arrested Sunday in what some said was a security clampdown in South Africa in the months leading up to the 2010 World Cup soccer championship, The Times of London reported Tuesday.”
