Despite chants on London streets during a demonstration organized by the group Hizb ut-Tahrir, London’s Metropolitan police said that no offense worthy of arrest took place. The Met also admitted that “photos from the same protest” showed “signs and banners referring to ‘Muslim armies.’” The violence inherent in such signs leave no room to the imagination, especially when combined with shouts of “jihad.” Yet Met police still stated that “there are varying interpretations of what the language on the placards should be interpreted to mean.”
This is despite the aim of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which is to establish a global caliphate. Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain declares on its own website:
Our lead banner summarises what this demonstration is all about – “Muslim Armies! Rescue the People of Palestine”….. The time has come for the Muslims of the region to restore the Khilafah (caliphate) on the way of Prophethood.
A West Point document discusses the goal of the group Hizb ut-Tahrir to establish a caliphate, based on Sharia law. It goes on:
While it rejects violence at this time, it is open to waging jihad once a proper Islamic state is established with the purpose of creating a global Islamic caliphate.
The Qur’an and Hadith are clear about expanding Islam using violence. Western appeasers are aiding groups such as Hizb ut-Tahrir to accomplish their jihad goals on Western soil. Another much larger pro-Palestinian rally saw some 100,000 participants.
Immigration minister Robert Jenrick rightly stated that “people chanting ‘jihad’ on the streets of London are inciting terrorist violence and should be tackled with the full force of the law.” While Jenrick said that his view was consistent with that of the UK government, he also stated that it was an “operational matter for the police and the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service].” And herein lies the problem: the gap between what the government represents — which should be the rule of law — and the interpretation of it by the police and the CPS. So public safety ends up falling through the cracks.
The spinelessness of the Met is on full display in Sadiq Khan’s London, where the “Islamophobia canard” holds police hostage.
Jews in Western countries can no longer be said to be safe as aggressive pro-Palestinian groups are promoting violence while suffering no legal consequences, while Western apologists continue to gaslight the public with “interpretations” about what is obvious. Declarations about “jihad, jihad” and “Muslim armies” are obvious.
Chants were also reportedly heard in the Hizb ut-Tahrir demonstration praising Hamas “heroes.” Now some UK politicians want to ban the group in Britain (it is banned in many other countries). Such a move may be a start, but it would not be sufficient to control the aggressive Palestinian “resistance” movement, which is really a violent movement that aims to obliterate Israel from the River to the Sea. France, meanwhile, has banned pro-Palestinian protests altogether, and “vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism.”
“People chanting ‘jihad’ in London ‘inciting violence’, says Robert Jenrick,” by Rowena Mason, Guardian, October 22, 2023:
People chanting “jihad” on the streets of London are inciting terrorist violence and should be tackled with the full force of the law, Robert Jenrick, the immigration minister, has said.
Jenrick’s comments appear to be at odds with the position of the Metropolitan police, which suggested this weekend that officers did not consider it to be against the law.
The Met said it had reviewed a video in which a man can be seen chanting “jihad, jihad” at a demonstration organised by Hizb ut-Tahrir in London on Saturday, and it had not identified any specific offences in the clip.
The Hizb ut-Tahrir rally was separate from a much larger pro-Palestine rally of about 100,000 people in London.
Jenrick said it was an operational matter for the police, but the government’s position was that chanting “jihad” was “completely reprehensible” and “inciting terrorist violence”.
Speaking to Sky’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, Jenrick said: “I never want to see scenes like that. It is inciting terrorist violence and it needs to be tackled with the full force of the law.
“Ultimately, it’s an operational matter for the police and the CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] whether to press charges. Arrests have been made … there have been arrests since the beginning of this situation. And we want to make sure that the police do everything that they can to protect British Jews.”….

Muslims chanting “Jihad, Jihad” on London streets are not just chanting for war against Israel. These people are in favor of overthrowing the government of the UK also. Fight them now, fight them later, or submit to rule by Islam are the only choices you have. Showing them mercy and kindness will just get you what it has gotten the people of Israel. These “slaves of Allah” are going to have to be driven out of your country before they take your land and either kill you all or turn you into mindless fools like them.

So vary true.

So are you going to deport the lot of them?

If wishes could come true I would do it peacefully on my own but I think it’s going to take a terrible war to rid the world of the Islamic mind disease. In all reality, I’m afraid people in the UK (and other countries) will bow down to the Muslims until what is happening in Israel starts happening in the UK and everywhere we Infidels live. The best thing now for everyone, especially for those who will come after us, is to give Muslims the gift of martrydom which they themselves believe is the greatest gift of all. It’s saddens me to say that but we must do what must be done. Yes, I know the Muslims will fight when they are told to leave but bad things are unavoidable unless we are granted some sort of miracle. I will pray for peace but prepare for war.
