| Turkey detains 200 Islamist suspects |
| 2009-07-25 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Turkish police detained nearly 200 people suspected of being members of the outlawed Islamic organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, Party of Liberation, in a series of raids across the country, the state-run news agency Anatolian said on Friday. Simultaneous crackdowns in 23 provinces across Turkey took place early Friday and police reportedly confiscated a number of documents linking the suspects to the Islamist group. Founded in 1953, Hizb ut-Tahrir has sought to unite Muslims into a pan-Islamic state but has claimed its means are peaceful. Uzbekistan blames the group for bombings in the capital in 2004, an accusation the London-based group denies. Turkey has in the past raided Hizb ut-Tahrir and other Islamist groups, including al-Qaeda, believed to operate in predominantly Muslim Turkey. The group is banned in many countries across the world. |

| #3 Even most muslim nations have the sense to outlaw this muslim supremacist and terrorist feeder organization. But our leadership, surrounded by tax paid bodyguards and luxury, don't have the survival sense of a damn lemming. Anti-Semitic, Anti-Christian Propaganda on Display at Caliphate Conference While Hizb ut-Tahrir, a pro-jihadist group which met openly near Chicago last weekend, is surprisingly candid about its desire to re-establish an Islamic Caliphate, literature available at its conference shows the group also views Christians and Jews as untrustworthy enemies of God.

| #2 that might explain why there are so few Turkish jihadists causing trouble across the globe. |

| #1 Actually, the target was: Wahabis. Turks hate Saudi clerics more than they hate kafirs. And Wahabis despise anything connected with the Ottomans. |
