ooo OOO ooo

A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.

Now, it is coming out of the shadows and openly hosting a July 19 conference entitled, "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam," at a posh Hilton hotel in a suburb of Chicago.

Hizb ut-Tahrir insists that it does not engage in terrorism, and it is not recognized by the State Department as a known terror group.

But some terrorism experts say it may be even more dangerous than many groups that are on the terror list.

"Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of the oldest, largest indoctrinating organizations for the ideology known as jihadism," Walid Phares, director of the Future of Terrorism Project at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told FOXNews.com.

Phares said that Hizb ut-Tahrir, rather than training members to carry out terrorist acts like Al Qaeda, focuses instead on indoctrinating youths between ages of 9 and 18 to absorb the ideology that calls for the formation of an empire — or "khilafah" — that will rule according to Islamic law and condones any means to achieve it, including militant jihad.

Hizb ut-Tahrir often says that its indoctrination "prepares the infantry" that groups like Al Qaeda take into battle, Phares said.

"It's like a middle school that prepares them to be recruited by the high school, which is Al Qaeda," he said. "One would compare them to Hitler youth. ... It's an extremely dangerous organization."

Phares said Hizb ut-Tahrir has strongholds in Western countries, including Britain, France and Spain, and clearly is looking to strengthen its base in the U.S.

"The aim of this conference is to recruit within the Muslim community in America," he said. "The Middle East governments go after them, but in the U.S. they are protected, so having a base here is going to help their cells around the world."

  • The fact that its being held in USA is evidence enough that its paid for by jewish indian lobby of usa... to keep the white man busy in Muslim affairs..cuz once the white man realises who robbed him and how stupid white man was..white man would go for indians and jews... and they know it.. thats why these 2 lobbies are keeping white man busy as long as possible in Muslims.... but sadly Muslims have no wealth and no economy to give to white man... sooner white man realises this betta for humanity

  • @koffiekpatcha

    You're Worldy Lust and Desire is your Belief.

    Islam is God's Law

  • If the Caliphate is establish.. people will still be allowed to retain their religion.

    They will have to pay a Dziyah. A form of tax for non muslims.

    While muslims will pay Zakat.

    The non muslims will be left alone , they will have protections of the Caliphate.

    And they don't have to serve the Army. But still you live under the Sharia Law.
