The east London hall echoes to the sound of the speaker's voice: "They want us to redefine Islam to fit the agenda of the west," he intones, and the audience murmurs. "Islam is going to be political, no matter how hard they try. Islam itself is political. Allah has not remained silent when it comes to political matters."
The speaker is a member of Hizb ut Tahrir, the most controversial Islamic group in Britain today. Critics have called for the group to be banned, as it is in Germany, while supporters hail it as the saviour of the Muslim community. Hizb — the name means Party of Liberation in Arabic — is banned throughout the Middle East, and three British men are in jail in Egypt accused of propagating its views. In Uzbekistan, thousands of Hizb members are in jail, and a Russian thinktank has compared the group to al-Qaida.
Eighteen months ago, the group briefly appeared in the public eye when the wife of Omar Sharif, the Briton who launched a failed suicide-bomb attack in Tel Aviv, was found to have leaflets from the group in her home. Hizb ut Tahrir also has a presence on university campuses, where it has been accused of anti-semitism.

Very well. That being the case, and the "political" nature of Islam being that it seeks only to expand its empire, we in the West reserve the right to fight against political Islam, i.e. Islamist imperialism.
"Political" Islamists need to understand that. It is inevitable.
Hmmmm. That doesn't look like the California-legal neutered variety.
You have crossed a tragic threshold and your misbegotten idiocy will be systematically and entirely eradicated. All that might remain will be regarded as acts of fools...mere nuisance.
Very nice.
I would not even house break a dog with the pages of the offal Guardian....Its leftist stench continues to stain the journalistic world.
That was a mean picture to post. I am lacking meat substances tonight.
I'm glad they've defined Islam as political, can we consider them a military target?
I have a close friend from India where he had the dubious fortune of observing muslims for decades. His favorite phrase? "There are no moderates." I agree with him.
I guess that is why GWB has 4 more years to darken the sky with their ashes......
Say the word allah breath.
Islam needs to understand that there are countless millions who are prepared to make Muslims die on their feet- for we will not live on our knees.
When do I get to launch something, huh? I wanna launch a missle, c'mon daddy you promised, kenni,kenni,kenni please?!
Say..when was the gatling gun invented???
What??? you're carnally impaired?
I believe that the historical collective memory and guilt of the crimes of the Nazi holocaust as perpetrated by white europeans on a defenseless subculture in the name of state security will be the West's Achilles' heal that will be exploited by the left to facilitate islamization of the West and shame the soon to be occupied western nations into eventual social/cultural/political submission. And yes, Islam does mean submission.
