Hizb ut Tahrir / political Islam's growth in central Asia (Al Jazeera TV 2010)

The video is from Al Jazeera International (english). 22 mins long. The documentary:
* is for the first half largely about the hizb's growth in central Asia, the oppression of its members, the jailing of literally thousands of its members in Uzbekistan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan (and thats in EACH country, not cumulatively.)
* Features an interview with a member of the hizb recently released from jail. This bit is an absolute must see! He describes (as ive quoted below also) that there is "an army of us in the jails of uzbekistan" and speaks of the inevitability of the return of the Khilafah (given what he's seen of the Muslims' increasing attachment to it).
* then goes on to discuss a case study of a brother jailed for apparently being with al qaeda and how his family heard and saw nothing of him for very long.
* The legal corruption of the governments of all three nations, and how (may the curse of Allah be upon these disbelieving shayateen) they appoint stooge lawyers in the defence of brothers from the hizb who are arrested such that the lawyers dont see them until the court hearing, and how there is a 100% conviction rate in these cases.
* The case a few months ago where 32 brothers from the hizb (who were farmers) were jailed for 20 years each without any proof of wrongdoing.
* Features a brief interview with a figure in the Uzbek opposition who says blatantly that the problem of the Uzbek government is with Islam.
* Features a brief interview with the famous ex British ambassador to Uzbekistan - Craig Murray - who asserts likewise, and says that the west has openly supported the oppression of Muslims and the backlash of this will be upon the west (and we pray for Allah to hasten this. Ameen).

Some of the quotes that will make everyone want to watch the doco (insha Allah):

* Voiceover guy: "Authorities estimate that in Kyrgystan there are at least 8000 Hizb ut Tahrir members, in Uzbekistan several times more, working secretly in small groups"
* Shab of the hizb in Kyrgystan: "Whenever there is a crackdown, many more people become members of Hizb ut Tahrir, young people get interested in who we are. We sit down with them and study the teachings of Muhammad SAW and they agree with our peaceful way (beautiful smile that will make you cry at how much they go through but are still steadfast!) There are lots of our people in prison, and they are very productive. There is a whole army of our people coming out. After prison they are not afraid of anything (And if you werent already, then his laugh at this point might make you bawl!) Very soon (INSHA ALLAH) we will have an islamic state. Al Khilafah"
* "These governments dont understand Islam. They are not able to define (the difference between) muslims and extremists.. they are not able to distinguish and they oppress anyone" - political analyst.
* Muhammad Solikh (opposition leader): President karimov has created a regime by terrifying the people with a scary image of islamic fundamentalism. An image that has now become a reality. He himself created this image for the west to secure support from the west"
* Voiceover guy: "The west has bought into the fearmongering that has kept the Central Asian governments in power for so long".
* "We are creating a time bomb of discontent in central asia... that discontent will take an anti western turn" (insha Allah).

it is unfair to say that the governments in the muslim world must step down because who is to say their replacement would be any better. Instead you can ask yourself does the system that we live under that creates tyrants need replacing?

[fazzamin]

@abid1ummah what a silly thing to say. the replacement would be islam!

[PetritpRo]

oh Karimov, your day will come soon rather than later.

You will face the punishment of muslims in this world and worst of all the punishment of Allah in the hereafter. Inshallah

[emevili]

mashallah

[javed119]

the people of uzbakistan should rise up against karimov like the people of eygpt ang tunisian,

[abid1ummah]

@fazzamin ok many people do not recognise islam as a system as they would do so to capitalism or communism

in many of our governments there are good people however as we all know it does not take much to corrupt a good man.

a replacement of the system to islam would correct this. inshala

[ArabianRhythm]

The presenter who speaks at the end of the video is a liar, a disgrace, an enemy, an hypocrite. I will kill him if i get him, the fucking bastard. People like him always bring division among the Muslims. He must be executed. He is a pig.

[TruthbHeard]

Many Muslims in USA i know celebrate Eid the same way

Since the Islamic state was destroyed by Britian, our schools have been secularized children are very corrupt and into the western culture u dont have any clue do u

The war on Terror is a war on Political Islam, to re-establish Islamic khilfah, liberate Muslim lands from Christians, life oppresive tyrants, poverty, and slaughter all over the Muslim world, palestine, kashmir, chechnia, ON AND ON, get a clue bud @ sheikh google

[ddchalmers]

Yes it is a problem @izzharudeen but it is their problem + their choice as to how to deal with it if they choose to do so. So many Hizb ut Tahrir supporters R in Britain, Australia, etc + R merely frustrated at wat they see. If they want CHANGE then they have to do something themselves wherevr they R, not whine abt Egypt or Tajiks, Uzbeks etc But the West is playing another game + it wants to be able to wedge both Russia + China via disrupted border states. Revolutions jus play into their hands
