Shaykh Khalid Yasin  is a U.S.-born Muslim convert, based in Atlanta, Georgia, who has been a popular guest speaker at Muslim Students Association (MSA) events on college campuses across the United States for some time.

Yasin has also lived in Britain from time to time. In the past, he has lectured with Omar Bakri Mohammed (the one-time leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir UK and founder of the pro Al-Qaida group, Al-Muhajiroun), who was banned from the United Kingdom because of his religious extremism in 2006.

One review of Yasin’s activities includes the following interesting  report:

On September 11, 2001, Yasin was in Saudi Arabia soliciting the support of an al Qaeda front known as the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation – which eventually would be designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government – to help finance the creation of his proposed “Islamic Broadcasting Company” (IBC).

In the last few years groups such as Al-Muhajiroun have been calling for Britain to become a Caliphate (Islamist state). So what would Britain as a Caliphate look like?

Let’s look at the facts:

• Under a Caliphate system the internet, music, novels, media would be banned/suppressed.
• Anything involving freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom of faith would also be banned/suppressed.
• The Caliphate would ban whole areas of economic activity so jobs/careers would be restricted.
• Only a man can be the Caliph (Ruler)
• Once selected, the Caliph would rule as an autocrat and remain the ruler until his death.
• No opposition parties would be allowed. So the Caliph cannot be challenged/replaced.
• Muslim women would be forced to cover up and women of other faiths would be restricted in what they can wear.
