| [IsraelTimes] Hizbut Tahrir says Paleostinian Authority acting on orders of 'infidels, occupiers and colonists' The group accused the PA of acting on the orders of "infidels, occupiers and colonists."
...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... is a pan-Islamist political organization which seeks to re-establish the Islamic Caliphate to resume the Islamic way of life under Sharia law.
PA security forces stopped vehicles and searched for people who were on their way to the rally, the group complained. The Caliphate refers to the political-religious state of the Moslem community in the centuries following the death of Prophet Mohammed. The last Caliphate lasted between 1517 and 1924 under the Ottoman dynasty of the Ottoman Empire.
Last week, PA security forces used force to break up similar rallies organized by Hizbut Tahrir in Hebron and Jenin.
Noting that the PA was currently sponsoring the Ramallah Contemporary Dance Festival, an annual event, Hizbut Tahrir said the PA were like the "people of Lot" who rejected chastity and purity in favor of infidelity and evil. It was a reference to Lot who, according to Islamic tradition, was bestowed as a prophet to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to stop his people from their lustful and violent acts. When the inhabitants refused to listen to him, their cities were destroyed. "We warn the Paleostinian Authority against its misdeeds, the Islamist group said. "It is living under an illusion if it thinks that it would be able to silence the voice of truth by obeying the orders of the infidels, occupiers and colonists." | |||||
