Show me any other religious group that publishes literature like this:

From "The Methodology of Hizb ut-Tahrir for Change" at: http://www.hizb-ut-tahrir.org/english/books/pdfs/method_for_revival.pdf


"...the vital issue for Muslims in the whole world is the re-establishment of the rule of Allah through establishing the Khilafah...in order to demolish the rules of the Kufr and to replace them with the laws of Islam...and to carry the message of Islam to the whole world by invitation and Jihad."

"...to rule with anything other than the laws of Allah is a matter that makes it obligatory upon Muslims to declare war against the ruler..."

"Allah will not allow the disbelievers to have authority (sultan) over the believers" [An- Nisa:141]

"The Party also aims to carry Islam as a message to the world and to lead the Ummah in struggle with the Kufr and against the systems and thought of Kufr, until Islam prevails around the globe."

"...re-establishing Islam to exist in the life, state and society is the vital issue for Muslims."

"...the measure that should be attached to this vital issue is the measure of life or death."

"...war should be declared against the rulers if they do not establish the rules of Islam and display its rituals, and that they should be fought against if they establish the rules of Kufr,and their authority should be disputed..."

"Declaring war against them means fighting against them to remove them from the government and to re-establish the rules of Islam."

"Hizb ut-Tahrir concluded from all this study that the vital issue for the Islamic Ummah is the re-establishment of Islam in life, state and society, and the carrying of Islam as a message to the world through invitation and Jihad."


What people have to realise is that Islam is not a religion in the sense that people in the West think of religion. Islam is a total way of life that includes an obligatory form of Goverment (the Khilafah and Sharia law), that considers only free male muslims as first class citizens.

"...the measure that should be attached to this vital issue is the measure of life or death."

The Islamists demonstrated on 9/11 how serious they are. The question for the citizens of The Free World is: How seriously do you value your freedom?
