Hizb-ut-Tahrir may become dangerous than ISIS: Report (One Million Members)
The Business Standard ^ | February 15, 2015 | Press Trust of India

Posted on 02/15/2015 12:56:41 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Radical Islamist group Hizb-ut- Tahrir which cleverly avoided global scrutiny while spreading its ideology may become a more dangerous terrorist group than the ISIS and it's presence in South Asia should be a cause for concern for India, according to a report.

"While ISIS runs amok in Syria and Iraq, demanding media attention through acts of barbarous cruelty, HuT (Hizb-ut- Tahrir or the Party of Liberation) is quietly building a global infrastructure of radicalised youth and deep-pocketed Arab support in preparation for the global Khilafat," said the report published in the latest edition of CTX Journal.

The group has cleverly avoided any intense global scrutiny while spreading its ideology and support base in nearly 50 countries, said the report.

The group commands a base of over one million members worldwide. This is far higher than what ISIS claims to have.

Citing reports, the journal said HuT has an armed wing called Harakat ul-Muhojirinfi Britaniya that is training its cadres in chemical, bacteriological, and biological warfare.

"HuT, therefore, has the potential to become an even more dangerous terrorist group than ISIS," said the journal from US-based Global Education Community Collaboration Online.

Founded in Jerusalem in 1952 and headquartered in London, the group has branches in Central Asia, Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, where it has managed to garner great influence.

In South Asia, HuT has a significant presence in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

"Although HuT has reportedly found a foothold in India, its presence and influence have not made any significant impact," said the multimedia journal on strategic and security affairs.

"HuT's growing presence in neighbouring Bangladesh and Pakistan should be a cause of concern for India and the larger global community," it said.

On its website, HuT claimed that it had organised a demonstration in 2010 at Batla House in Delhi in protest against Israel's alleged atrocities.

The demonstration, which was attended by about 1,000 people, was HuT's last reported activity in India, said the report prepared by Surinder Kumar Sharma, who is associated with Delhi-based Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

Noting that at the ideological level there is much in common between HuT and ISIS, the journal said "the majority of individuals and entities who support ISIS also support HuT."

It said HuT's strategy is different from ISIS and the group is slowly increasing its social capital by keeping away from overt acts of terrorism while luring the educated youths.

ISIS is an al-Qaeda splinter group and it has seized hundreds of square miles in Iraq and Syria. Al-Qaeda has distanced itself from the group, chiding it for its lack of teamwork in its aggressive, brutal expansion.

Hizb-ut-Tahrir provides the ideological framework while groups like Daesh/ISIS are doing the wet jobs.

Isn’t HuT the same group that recruited the “American Taliban?”

I don’t thinkit is any coincidence that this group held its first pro-shariah anti capitalist conference in Chicago in July 2009.

Washington better start figuring out a way to stop putting the Sequestration fiscal brakes on our military, pronto. The Obama regime has been a fire hose of payments to Gibsmedats for 6 years, and our military has been hemorrhaging.

I feel we are on the cusp of WW III - and each nation's military will be a Come As You Are party.

The way to get a handle on this is to strike Islamist Islam at its heart: to get the CIA and possibly other intelligence agencies to conduct an assassination campaign, similar to Stalin’s “Smert’ shpionam” (death to spies), but targeting violent Islamic instigators.

“Smert’ Imamov” (death to Imams).

Importantly, the CIA does not decide who will die. Only the Imams themselves can draft their own death warrant, by preaching terrorism, murder, violence, war, conquest and the worst forms of oppression.

If at all possible, it should look like an accident. It might serve to make the death of particularly nasty ones look to be the work of a shadowy Muslim organization or even of mystical origins associated with his practicing witchcraft or worshiping Satan.

Mossad would likely be a partner in the operation. A better target for blame would be the Chinese.
