Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslim from pro-Sharia, pro-caliphate group gives keynote speech at Universities UK HQ

Aug 1, 2017 4:55 pm By Robert Spencer

No gesture of appeasement of Islamic supremacists is beneath the dignity of the British authorities. They reserve all their fury for foes of jihad terror.

“Fury as radical Islamist gives headline speech at university campaign group HQ,” by Sofia Petkar, Express, July 31, 2017:

A RADICAL Islamist group facing a government ban has sparked outrage across the country after a senior member gave a keynote speech at the headquarters of Universities UK.

The Hizb ut-Tahrir is a Salafi movement blacklisted across parts of Europe and much of the Middle East for its public support of a caliphate and the introduction of Sharia law throughout the Islamic world.

Described in Government reports as anti-semitic, homophobic and anti-Western, the group has hit the headlines multiple times, most recently for encouraging British Muslims not to vote in the General Election, and praising the concept of jihad.

Hizb ut-Tahrir, meaning “Party of Liberation,” was founded by Palestinian Taqiuddin al-Nabhani al-Filastyni in 1953, with chapters operating in more than 40 countries, and has been described as a “conveyer belt for terrorists”.

The movement has incited fury once again, after its national executive Jamal Harwood addressed delegates at the Great Debate event, held at the Woburn House Conference Centre earlier this year.

The centre is owned by advocacy organisation Universities UK (UUK), which represents the higher education sector across the country.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is one of the organisations “no platformed” by the National Union of Students, with a number of universities cancelling events when learning speakers from this organisation are on the line-up.

Introduced in 1974, the NUS’ “No Platform” policy prevents individuals or groups known to hold racist or fascist views from speaking at NUS events.

It also ensures NUS officers will not share a public platform with individuals or groups known to hold racist or fascist views.

The union has only six organisations listed under this policy at present – Al-Muhajiroun, British National Party, English Defence League, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Muslim Public Affairs Committee and National Action.

It has emerged Mr Harwood spoke as part of a panel titled “Is the Caliphate a viable alternative for the Middle East?” alongside a professor from SOAS University of London, at the event held in April….

    These people know the opinions of Mr. Joe Public in the UK very well. They are deliberately throwing their weight around because they know they’ve got the a lot of the media and the bent establishment on their side and they’re convinced they can get away with it. Well, they seem to be having quite a good time just at the moment largely because they seem to be stamping on the opposition stasi-style; for example, the latest honest ‘guide to islam’ co-authored by Tommy Robinson, has strangely become unavailable from Amazon, where it was becoming a best-seller. Now, there’s a funny thing!

      If they don’t vote because they are told not to, then there will be less votes for some stupid Lefty/Liberal MP to create more islamic problems in the UK….

      Mohammed’s Koran: Why Muslims Kill For Islam
      by Peter McLoughlin (Author), Tommy Robinson (Author)
      https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mohammeds-Koran-Muslims-Kill-Islam/dp/154262780X
      I wonder if perhaps the book has sold out. I hope the printing presses catch up, and if Amazon are having 2nd thoughts, then hopefully it will be retailed else where.
      Not sure how the kindle system works though

      Worthwhile to cast an eye over the reviews, so far about 150, running at about 2 to 1, 5*
      to 1*
      Some reviews are very good and well informed.
      Many comments also aid others where they may have a misunderstanding or expand of how the koran works.

      It seems that the 1* reviews get a good lambasting in the comments, and some of those comments are pretty good too.
      *1 reviewers is where they are wanting the book closed down. Some really huffy reviewers there. 🙂 but well debated in the comments.
      Sort of gives heart that many others are aware of the danger of islam, and will buy this book to for friends and families

      5* Me and my muslim mate have both bought this and well into it. We’ve scanned through it before going back to the start and both picked out points we both knew from the koran, but this book gives it the real context and not the tripe politicians, the main stream media and idiots who haven’t even bothered reading the koran try and feed the gullible public. It’s more interesting to read it in it’s chronological order. When he read the part at the start which said if you’re a muslim put this down laughed his backside off.

      It seems the message is getting through perhaps. Perhaps they may become reforming muslims if not ex muslims. Would really like to know what they think about things in a months time, and why they gave it a 5*

      Boycott, Boycott, Boycott and register your complaints with EVERY organization whether a business, public school division, university, government representative, restaurant serving halal, form of entertainment, whatever.

      Boycotting is assertive but peaceful, does not require a lot of organization, gets attention. Just say “I’m taking my money/vote elsewhere because you support barbarism and I won’t put up with it.”

      We need to make boycotting a routine part of our culture. I don’t think it would take long to gain momentum.

      We need to do whatever we can to interrupt the islamic methods of disruption in our society. The basically copy and paste the same MO in every country they infiltrate. Halal is a big one. Very lucrative for funding terrorism. Find restaurants and grocery stores that do not sell halal foods and tell all your friends to eat/shop there. Boycott the others and let them know.

    Is that the *radical* in the photo? He has a real look of hate on his face, and in his eyes.

    ‘The’ question as to why power structures in UK are not just supporting but allowing Islam to flourish needs answering before its too late. Of course, those same power structures won’t personally suffer, likely because the deal has already been struck. The common folk are the target of suffering and it looks like the common folk have been shoved over the cliff.

    The problem is that all that “fury” will descend only against innocent (albeit stupefied) population, and NOT against those “leaders” they have had chosen who live in their well protected, gated and guarded mansions, leaders who fully deserve that fury.

      Once the Muslims take over the only people who will be safe will be Muslims. These elites will submit.

    My opinion about this would depend upon what he said in his speech. My support for freedom of speech means that I support his right to speak his mind as well my right and your right to do the same. So what did he say?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 1, 2017 at 9:56 pm

      No one is preventing this Mohammedan from venting his ugliness, CogitoErgoSum. We are just questioning why the University HQ sees fit to showcase him as their keynote speaker.

      Surely you don’t believe that supporting freedom of speech demands this?

      As for what he said in this speech, there is a clip here:

      http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/834818/hizb-ut-tahrir-radical-islamist-group-jamal-harwood-speech-universities-uk-great-debate

      He touts the establishment of the Caliphate–that is represented now by the sanguinary Islamic State–asserts that there is no place for freedom or liberal democracy in the region, because it is rejected by Muslims; he also says that democracy is “incompatible with ‘God’s’ law”–meaning the horrors of Shari’ah.

        Aug 1, 2017 at 11:16 pm

        Thanks, gravenimage. I know that what these supporters of Muhammad have to say is usually the same old BS but I think we still have to stick by our own rules of allowing freedom of speech even to those whom we find reprehensible … or else we run the risk of becoming like the intolerant antifa mob who won’t even listen to anyone who dares speak against their preconceptions. As long as we retain the freedom of speech for everyone and as long as our side has the ability to respond openly and with reason and logic, I have no doubt we will prevail. It’s not freedom of speech but rather its restraint and suppression that is troubling to me.

          I could not agree more. I worked closley with a university which allowed these speakers to attend. The dean would attend, and always provided a counter narative after the speaker. Much better than allowing to go on in secluded spaces. Also when clowns are allowed to speak in public it is easier to identify and ridicule them. A calaphate in the middle east? I could not care less, probably no worse than the current leadership.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 2, 2017 at 8:05 pm

          I get your point and I very much agree, CogitoErgoSum–freedom of speech is key.

          But this is not just a case of a university allowing this supporter of terrorism to speak–which I agree they should be allowed to do–but the Universities headquarters featuring Jamal Harwood *as their keynote speaker*.

          So they are not just supporting freedom of speech, but are showcasing his views as representing their own. No one features a speaker as their keynote speaker unless they agree with most of their opinions.

    Jamal Harwood is endorsing the Islamic State and caliphate and the UK elites continue sleeping.

    German elites while Hitler made his beer hall speeches.

    No really suprising in the UK ! After all the POLICE & COUNCILS & ESTABLISHMENT hid a massive MUSLIM CHILD RAPING industry for over TWO decades & are still trying to ignore it !
    This was LABOR & CONSERVATIVES all apparently to preserve their precious multiculturalism !
    The LAME & ACCEPTED excuse was – we were afraid of being accused of being RACIST !
    How on earth can anyone believe this with CHILD RAPISTS being allowed to roam free ???
    Prince Charles is a friend of the House of Saud & wants some sort of Multi Faith organization when crowned!
    On a BBC program – with AMBER RUDD – there a gentleman showed leaflets handed out at DIDSBURY MOSQUE rubbishing Democracy ! The BBC announcers & AMBER accepted a LIAR in the audience who stated – they were not official & TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT!
    Manchester Bombing – Mayor Manchester states that the BOMBER was not a MUSLIM but was a CRIMINAL !
    ANDY BURNHAM – Mayor of Manchester calls for the SCRAPPING of “PREVENT” which is the only agency trying to prevent so called “RADICALIZATION !
    MELANIE PHILIPS – shows in public that members of the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD are being consulted at every level of the British establishment !
    SAUDI WAHABI FUNDED Schools & MOSQUES are preaching hatred & intolerance all over the UK & NOTHING is done !

    The UK is in very big trouble & the IDEOLOGY of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS has firmly shut down open debate ! Tommy Robinson – is continually monitored & harassed!
    Paul Weston – on quoting CHURCHILL is arrested !
