Islamophobia Watch have found another less-than-worthwhile cause to throw their “might” behind – defending global Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir from their critics.
In reality, Hizb ut-Tahrir is a peaceful if highly sectarian organisation that poses no threat whatsoever to the people of East London. But what can you expect from the Tories, given that David Cameron is on record as calling for HT to be made illegal?
Needless to say, Cameron isn’t calling for a ban on the far-right British National Party, even though no HT members have been convicted of the sort of violent crimes that BNP members have. Clearly the Tories apply different standards to white fascists than they do to brown Islamists.
