Hizb ut-Tahrir Conference: "Fall of Democracy"

Hizb ut-Tahrir (Arabic for “Party of Liberation”), a radical political party seeking to restore the Caliphate across the Middle East and eventually worldwide, is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official Khilafah Conference in the U.S.

Below is HT's video advertising the event.



The conference, scheduled to be held July 19, 2009, at the Hilton Oak Lawn hotel, may attract a decent following due to the fact that the group seems to have become more active on online in the U.S., particularly on social networking sites like facebook and MySpace.

The group claims that Islam is in conflict with the existence of Israel. According to one observer quoted in a Fox News report, “some of their leaders have denied the Holocaust, and they believe homosexuals should be thrown off the highest building.”
