Garton Ash’s view of the Swiss ban on minarets

By Houriya | Published: December 10, 2009
Timothy Garton Ash has written a comment piece for the Guardian discussing the Swiss ban on mosque minarets. I agree with all that he says except for the Islamic Shakhsiya Foundation point. I have looked at the curriculum that they were teaching at the time they received government funding. And yes, they do promote Hizb ut-Tahrir [...]

Hizb ut-Tahrir and the 1997 Redress

By Guest | Published: November 30, 2009
This is a guest post by Raziq, a former member of Hizb-ut-Tahrir **** Many people are not aware that Hizb-ut-Tahrir is split into two groups. Both groups oppose each other but go by the same name. So how did this situation come about? In 1997 some members of Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) claimed to have removed the then leader [...]

Death Threats, Part Of An “Exclusively Political Method”

By Yossarian | Published: November 16, 2009
Global Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) likes to claim that it is devoted to an “exclusively political method” which is non-violent. Even though HT would be happy to see the deaths of millions and its ideology and strategy has been well documented by my Spittoonite comrade Houriya (not least in the excellent, but somewhat prosaically [...]

Hello Hizbis

By Guest | Published: November 4, 2009
This is a guest post by Hannah Stuart and Houriya Ahmed **** Regular readers don’t need us to tell them about Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT). However, as authors of the Centre for Social Cohesion’s recent report, Hizb ut-Tahrir: Ideology & Strategy, we feel obliged to respond to HT’s ‘smear aimed at distracting our organisation from its work’. HT’s statement [...]

Slam Dunk

By Effendi | Published: November 3, 2009
First, the bad news: Last week a report in the Sunday Telegraph highlighted the Shakhsiyah Foundation, an Hizb ut-Tahrir front organisation which runs three schools in north London, had received in excess of £113,000 from government grants. The foundation’s lead trustee, Yusra Hamilton, is a leading Hizb activist who is married to Taji Mustafa, the group’s chief spokesman [...]

Hizb ut-Tahrir Admit SRE Islamic Campaign is an HT Front

By Yossarian | Published: October 30, 2009
It was the Spittoon which first revealed that a campaign launched ostensibly by British Muslims to counter government plans for Sex and Relationship Education in schools was actually a less-than-subtle front for Hizb ut-Tahrir. The Independent then picked up on the story. Well, now Hizb ut-Tahrir have admitted (pdf) to the duplicitous tricks they have been [...]

Dalia Mogahed Makes More Excuses for HT Show Appearance

By Yossarian | Published: October 25, 2009
As covered here at the Spittoon, one of President Obama’s advisors on Muslim affairs, Dalia Mogahed, appeared on a Hizb ut-Tahrir TV show on the Islam Channel. She then sent a letter to the Telegraph which, in a singularly unconvincing manner, tried to justify her appearance on the ‘Muslimah Dilemma’ show. Now she has written another [...]

Hizb ut-Tahrir and its Nuclear Ambitions

By Yossarian | Published: October 23, 2009
Here at the Spittoon we have covered HT’s attempts to destabilize and even mount a coup in Pakistan, an HT member’s assault on Quilliam’s director, the various unpleasantries of HT’s ideology yet even their copyright violations have so far failed to convince me (as all these matters have the Tories) that HT deserves to be [...]

Spittoon Exclusive: Dalia Mogahed’s letter to the Sunday Telegraph

By Guest | Published: October 13, 2009
This is a guest post by Al-Qanaas Al-Masri **** Through a source, who must for obvious reasons remain anonymous, I have received a copy of a letter that Dalia Mogahed, an advisor to Obama, wrote to The Telegraph in response to their coverage of her decision to appear on the Islam Channel on a programme run and [...]

Obama’s Advisor and the Promotion of Hizb ut-Tahrir

By Guest | Published: October 8, 2009
This is a guest post by Al-Qanaas Al-Masri **** Since taking office, President Obama’s administration has tried hard to break with Bush-era ‘them and us’ rhetoric and reach out to ordinary Muslims around the world. However, I don’t think that anyone thought this policy would include publicly sucking up to Hizb ut-Tahrir, a group which, much like al-Qaeda, [...]
