In and Out of Islamism with Maajid Nawaz - Part 1/4

Earlier this year, Maajid Nawaz left Hizb ut-Tahrir, standing down as a senior member of its national executive committee. After years of involvement with the group including four years in an Egyptian jail for his membership of the Party, Maajid had come to reconsider his membership. He has started to publish online his ideological and theological objections in some detail, hoping that some within the Party will reconsider their positions and, perhaps more importantly, young Muslims are not recruited to this ideology in the first place. He has rejected the idea of banning the group but believes instead that their ideas, and more broadly those of Islamism, should be publicly challenged and refuted. As such this is less about Hizb ut-Tahrir and more about the kind of politics that British Muslims believe has faith-centred justification.

A truthful brother who saw past the deceit of the fasdeen fal ard or the corrupters of this earth who are no better than the tyrants of yesteryear who have have caused bloodshed and animosity among mankind.

Bloody hell. There was never a singular Muslim identity before British. In fact, the identity of Muslim as a nation started after the British came to India.

I support them resisting Israeli 'occupation' as well; makes it so much easier to differentiate between terrorists and civilians.

Free speech means one can criticise others; to say that you believe in free speech AND that people have a 'right' to avoid 'suffering' from slander or people disagreeing with them is pure hypocrisy.

This fool helped to take too many people in the direction of HT extremism then leaves them for the other extreme for a tidy sum. There must be many 'brothers' out there employed by the secret service to spread confusion!

I salute Majid and Ed hussain for exposing those who are bringin bad name to Islam and spreading hatred.

It was a question, not an argument, but in answer to your question, yes. In many secular societies slander is illegal, insulting someone is not if it's true, if the insult is not true, than the insulted person can sue for slander, it's up to the insulted whether he\she wants to prosecute.

"we have your civilisation to thank for." And which guilt-free, pure as the driven snow civilization do you come from or claim to represent ?
