Press Release
Hizb ut Tahrir did not and will not fall under any group or Qaeda; it will never raise except the Rayah of the Messenger of Allah (saw)
(Translated)

The British daily newspaper, The Times, came up with a new lie against us saying, “Hizb ut Tahrir joins forces with al-Qaeda in Syria.” It added, “Hizb ut Tahrir (HT) is launching attacks on civil activists in the northern city of Aleppo, aided by fighters from the Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s franchise in Syria during a demonstration against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.” The paper said that many of the British ISIS fighters … were in contact with Hizb ut Tahrir group while studying at UK universities. The newspaper reached in its slurs far as to say that 100 of Hizb ut Tahrir members, one armed with a sword, attacked demonstrators who raised the flag of the revolution (which is the byproduct of the French colonialism).

It was clear from the newspaper’s fabrications that it seeks to call for the banning of Hizb ut Tahrir in Britain. So it began to invent delusions that the Hizb, despite its renunciation of violence, its members are active in the British universities to promote its ideas. The newspaper did not find a witness to mention except the words attributed to a student from Syria in the University of Manchester who said that Hizb’s members discussed with him Khilafah being the right solution to the problems of the Muslims. Hence, the intellectual and political debate became a terrorist offense in the eyes of the London-based newspaper, which claims to be the Magna Carta and the first democratic parliament in the world.

Then, it tried to gather some more irrefutable evidence; so it stated that the Hizb’s members in the city of Aleppo wrote slogans on walls calling for the establishment of the Khilafah State. And so, writing on the walls became an offence in their wicked democracy, which brags that it scalped Native American Indian heads and wiped out the aborigine peoples of Australia, and wherever place the abominable European colonialism afflicted. So, the intellectual and political advocacy for Muslims to establish the Khilafah State, which is ordered by the Lord of the Worlds, became a terrorist crime; while they are silent as the graves about the bestowment of their civilization of explosive barrels which rains upon our people in the Syrian cities and villages at the hands of the American butcher of Damascus!

We know that the Western political malice has no boundaries. So, after Britain’s failed attempts to ascribe false accusations to Hizb ut Tahrir and its members, and after the British instructions to their agents from the rulers of the Islamic world to pursue Hizb ut Tahrir’s members, detain them and prevent them from their peaceful Islamic activity. Also, after being pursued by Russia with exposed desperate attempts to ascribe allegations of armed actions through stashing weapons and ammunition on our members by the Russian intelligence services men. Moreover, after Germany acted contrary to its own constitution through circumventing its laws and prevented Hizb ut Tahrir’s intellectual activities on its territory. As well as after restrictions on the senior members of the Hizb in European societies of doctors, engineers and professors, by expelling them from their jobs, and left their media to weave lies and trump them up on the Hizb and its members, in full view of the politicians who stay motionless and flouting their freedoms, here is Britain slandering these lies!

When the newspaper is due to provide any credible evidence to link the Hizb with armed actions, it moves on to claim that, despite the lack of evidence compelling the Hizb’s material work, observers believe that the party is an “intermediary that paves the way for the emergence of terrorists” (i.e. through the promotion of extremist ideas). These people are well aware that the Hizb is lofty in its history with a brilliant record in fighting rulers and the security agencies of the puppet regimes for the West. And with the steadfastness of the Hizb’s members in their call, and their endurance of the repression of the security agencies creations from the womb of the Western colonial civilization, however, the Hizb and its members remained committed to the method of the Messenger of Allah (saw); and never deviated an inch from it. Everyone, distant and near, and the first ones being the Western intelligence services, know for sure, that Hizb ut Tahrir built its methodology on strict discipline, which necessitates the dismissal of those contradicting its intellectual method, in the sense that whoever violates the Hizb’s adopted methodology is dismissed from the Hizb.
Hizb ut Tahrir confirms that this is only a new episode of Britain’s cunningness and malice against Islam and Muslims, in general, and against the Ash-Sham revolution in particular. So, here are the sinful hands and the lying tongues that fabricated void lies against Hizb ut Tahrir in Aleppo, here they are, continuing with their masters in Britain and delivering the same fabricated lies to the Times Newspaper; in hate for Islam and fear of the coming Khilafah Rashidah State, in order to maintain the division and to prevent our return to be a one powerful state, ruled by one Khaleefah and raises the Rayah – the banner of the Messenger of Allah (saw).

Hizb ut Tahrir is not harmed by what the enemies of Allah do of machinations and cunningness; because Allah Almighty defends those who believe. ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ﴾ “Indeed, Allah defends those who have believed. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone treacherous and ungrateful.”. ]Al-Hajj: 38[ And as for their plots, from home and abroad in Syria and others, we bring to them and to their thugs the glad tiddings of the words of Allah Almighty:
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ لِيَصُدُّوا عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَيُنْفِقُونَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ يُغْلَبُونَ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ يُحْشَرُونَ﴾
“Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved – unto Hell they will be gathered.” ]Al-Anfal: 36[
