(True North) An international organization of Islamic imams is calling for Hizb ut-Tahrir, the organizers of a “Khilafah Conference” calling for the overthrow of all non-Muslim governments and the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, to be listed as a terrorist entity in Canada.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is banned under that designation in the U.K. and Germany and has now rescheduled the conference to Feb. 9. It will take place virtually.
Even that is too much for the Global Imams Council (GIC), which penned a letter to Public Safety Minister David McGuinty calling for the group to be banned immediately.
“The GIC strongly urges the Government of Canada to make the terror designation of Hizb ut-Tahrir Canada an immediate priority,” the letter said.
