We've been tagged in quite a few posts with video and photos from the Hizb ut-Tahrir protest in central London this afternoon.
Below is an update that explains what we've done in response and the decisions reached following advice from specialists in this field.

Yes, the word has a number of meanings, but this is not innocuous. The people at the protest were chanting “jihad fi sabeel Allah.” That is “jihad for the sake of Allah,” which in Islamic theology refers specifically to violent jihad. This was an open call for violence against Jews in the UK and elsewhere, and the police are making excuses and claiming that it’s nothing to be concerned about. Only if these were “white supremacists” would the British police find any reason for action. Britain, as is obvious to everyone, is finished.

Ok, we’ll try again and see if my comment is posted.
If my understanding of Islam is correct, there are different levels of jihad….but all eventuall lead to violence (Hamas)
Jihad is the means at which Muslims arrive at sharia. Which is sharia law.
Robert James Gilliard says
You are absolutely right.
