Hizb
ut-Tahrir Britain Issues Message to Muslim Community
in Aftermath of London Attacks - Thursday
7th July 2005, 20.48
In
the wake of today's attacks in London, Hizb ut-Tahrir
Britain, the well known global Islamic political party,
has issued a message to the Muslim community in Britain.
Tens of thousands of copies of the message will be distributed
at all major mosques across the UK after Friday prayers
tomorrow and via the Internet.
The message outlines
how the Muslim community should respond to the challenges
it faces in the aftermath of the London attacks. While
making it clear that Islam does not allow the harming
of innocent civilians, the message reminds the Muslim
community of the need to "come together with one
voice", be ambassadors of Islam and speak the truth,
even in difficult situations.
Dr Imran Waheed,
the Representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain, said,
"Despite the intense scrutiny that our community
will find itself under after these attacks, it is imperative
that the Muslim community is not silenced about the
colonialism of western governments."
"It is lamentable
that some politicians and commentators are apportioning
blame for these attacks on Muslims, without evidence,
as Muslims rightfully feel that they have far greater
experience of being the victims rather than the perpetrators
of terror."
Asiancommunity.Net
questioned Hizb Ut-Tahrir on why they were going to
dothis, their response; "Unfortunately Western
politicians have immediately pointed the finger of blame
for these attacks at Muslims - this places our community
under intense scrutiny and therefore there is a clear
need for Hizb ut-Tahrir to set out a clear agenda for
our community."
