(National Post) A controversial Canadian Islamic group is resurrecting its annual conference calling for the return of an Islamic caliphate and imposition of Shariah law that was abruptly cancelled last year after its sister organization was declared a terrorist entity in Britain.
Both the conference and the organization hosting it — at a secret location on Jan. 18 — are causing alarm over militancy, antisemitism and views on terrorism, bringing calls for the gathering to be cancelled and the group to be listed as a terrorist organization.
Hizb ut Tahrir Canada, the Canadian branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an international Islamic revolutionary organization, is distributing free tickets to its Khilafah Conference 2025. Khilafah is the Arabic word for caliphate, referring to a Muslim region governed under Islamic religious law.
