Huzb ut-Tahrir should be banned (in the UK)...

What are they waiting for???

A senior British member of a Muslim organisation accused of propagating extremism is to send out a warning this week that the group is targeting impressionable youngsters.

Maajid Nawaz, who was offered the opportunity to lead the UK branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir earlier this year, is expected to announce that he has left the global party after concluding that its beliefs warp the Koran's true message.

He will use an appearance on BBC2's Newsnight this week to claim that the organisation is recruiting young Muslims at British universities and, in some cases, suggesting that they travel overseas to fight British troops.

Mr Nawaz, 29, is also expected to claim that Hizb ut-Tahrir, which seeks to overthrow democracy and establish a worldwide Islamic state, encourages its followers to undermine British institutions and orders them not to vote.
