Just becuase the media has labled Hizb ut Tahrir as a "radical" muslim group, does not mean it is one. (This point is HIGHLY debatable. I have no personal bias to pull me either way, but from what I've gathered through research, they are a nonviolent Islamic political group. In fact, in the US, Hizb ut Tahrir was under scrutiny since 9/11. They concluded that it was NOT a terrorist group, nor supports any terrorist group, of any sort. The matter is still bieng decided in the UK (I think).)

Although, if I was in front of dozens of camera's, bieng flung a whole bunch of questions all at once, I'd be quite nervous, and would probably have a problem "stringing a sentence together," like you say. Let's not try to put an opinion upon someone or something whom we could possibily HAVE no opinion on, since we don't know that person in real life.
