UK to ban Sunni Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir for antisemitism, promoting terror
[IsraelTimes] Home Secretary Cleverly notes that group, already banned in other countries, praised and celebrated October 7 Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
attacks


Britannia’s interior minister James Cleverly said on Monday he had begun the process of banning the Sunni Islamist political organization Hizbut Tahrir
...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate...
, saying it was antisemitic and promoted "terrorism."

The group is already banned in Bangladesh, Egypt, Germany, Pakistain, and several Central Asian and Arab countries.

"Hizbut Tahrir is an anti-Semitic organization that actively promotes and encourages terrorism, including praising and celebrating the appalling 7 October attacks (on Israel)," Cleverly said, referring to the devastating massacres by Paleostinian terror group Hamas.

If a draft order laid before parliament by Cleverly is approved by MPs, the ban will come into force on January 19, making it an offense to support the group punishable by up to 14 years in prison. It can also lead to an asset seizure.

"Hizbut Tahrir’s praise of the 7 October attacks and associated incidents, as well as describing Hamas as ’heroes’ on their central website constitutes promoting and encouraging terrorism," a government statement said.

"Hizbut Tahrir has a history of praising and celebrating attacks against Israel and attacks against Jews more widely. The UK stands strongly against antisemitism and will not tolerate the promotion of terrorism in any form," it added.

Hizbut Tahrir’s long-term goal is to establish a Caliphate ruled under Islamic law.

Founded in 1953, it is headquartered in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
and operates in at least 32 countries including the UK, United States, Canada, and Australia, according to the UK’s Home Office.

The Islamist group has a few thousand supporters in the West Bank, where the Paleostinian Authority has also sought to clamp down on its activities.
