Chicago: Marriott hosting terror-linked Hizb ut-Tahrir conference, again (video)

Madeleine Gruen writing at the Counterterrorism Blog is all over Hizb ut Tahrir as usual. She exposed the terror-linked Hizb ut Tahrir’s 2009 conference and again alerts America to the 2010 HuT conference.

Check the latest video. Is it us or are Muslims who want sharia law to rule the world and know other Muslims will wage jihad in an attempt to achieve a global caliphate getting more bold? The Oak Brook, Illinois Marriott continues to condone, if not promote, sharia law and the overthrow of the United States. They hosted this same group last year while at the same time canceling Geert Wilders speech in Florida. It’s time to stand up and take action – or we will be living under Islamic sharia law in the near future.

Hizb ut-Tahrir America Announces Annual Conference – Madeleine Gruen

Hizb ut-Tahrir America (HTA) released a video announcement for its 2010 “Khilafah Conference,” to be held on July 11 at the Chicago Marriott, Oak Brook. The conference is titled, “Emerging World Order: How the Khilafah Will Shape the World.”

Last year, HTA announced its presence in the United States by hosting a conference at the Hilton in Oak Lawn, Illinois. The conference drew approximately 500 supporters, but did not appear to generate lasting momentum for HTA beyond the flurry of press reporting surrounding the event.

Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) has a presence in more than 45 countries around the world and seeks to establish an Islamic state. Once its government has been established, HT intends to spread Islam to the rest of the world.

More from Gruen, Hizb ut-Tahrir America Uses Social Media to Promote its “Emerging World Order” Conference:

HTA requests Muslims to change their “political views” on their Facebook profile to “Islamic Khilafah” (as opposed to Democrat, say) to indicate their support for HTA’s goals.

The Facebook page also provides a link to a lecture called “Islamic Caliphate vs. Democracy” by the al-Qaeda-linked cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is infamous for providing spiritual guidance to several American homegrown terrorists, including Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan.

Over the past year we have seen U.S. citizens radicalized to the point of committing acts of terrorism. While HT has not been tied to any of these cases, its objectives and ideology are consistent with many Islamist terrorist organizations. The group demonizes the U.S. and its allies, it seeks to make American Muslims feel disaffection towards their country, and it does not fully condemn acts of terrorism; rather, it places blame on the victim society for bringing violence upon itself.

How an extremist group reaches its audience is key to understanding how radicalization occurs. While HTA is spreading word about its conference, it is simultaneously exposing new audiences to its ideology and furthering its strategy to isolate American Muslims from the rest of society. Isolation and disaffection are first steps along the path to radicalization–the same path that may eventually lead to terrorism.
