UK: Hizb ut Tahrir vote to reject democracy.

"We need to return to our roots. Our vision is to change the world, not join silly little parties.

That sure sounds like ka-boom to me!

In a heated debate held last night at the London Muslim Center in Whitechapel, approximately 150 Muslims sided with the Dr. Abdul Wahid, leader of Hizb-ut-Tahrir as he said things like, "Taking part in the political process is "a waste of time" and then advocating "working outside the political system" while "concentrating on grass roots" initiatives such as building madrassas and mosques. (ed. note: Grass roots like this I wonder?)

And about that freedom of speech thing? They'd rather have adherence to religion, thank you very much. (ed. note 2: Then what are they doing in the secular West?)

The question is, will their Council funding be cut off as a result? I'm happy to report that is currently being discussed.

I would dearly love to see that happen.
