| Automobile rally for Hizb ut-Tahrir in Tatarstan | |
| 2012-12-26 | |
| Hizb ut-Tahrir, banned in Russia for links to terrorism, staged an unsanctioned automobile rally in the Russian republic of Tatarstan, which saw Islamist attacks earlier this year. About 20 cars rolled down a highway in Tatarstani capital Kazan on Saturday flying Islamist flags.
Kazan police said it was not aware of any public event by Hizb ut-Tahrir. A local report said the rally ended before police arrived on the scene. Unsanctioned public events are an administrative offence in Russia punishable with fines of up to $10,000. Reports about the rally are based on a set of photographs showing a column of sedans carrying the so-called "black flags of jihad" and their variation in white rolling down a snowy Kazan highway. The photographs first appeared online on Saturday on the Facebook page for Khilafah.com, a website supporting the ideas of the Hizb ut-Tahrir. | |

| #1 Sounds about right, twenty cars, is proof they're failing. 100 Cars would be about right. and more would prove REAL superiority. |
