A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.

Hizb ut-Tahrir insists that it does not engage in terrorism, and it is not recognized by the State Department as a known terror group.

I doubt they would "respect a woman's right to choose" and I'm pretty sure they are pro-gun.
I suppose it's only their lack of love of the US Constitution that keeps the Obama administration from reeling them in.

If it is anti-capitalist, I would except a high conversion rate among DUmmies and other freedom-hating lefties.

Any chance a waiter could get a few pounds of C-4 in there? A little turnabout would be kinda nice.

A stupid question here, feel free to thump on me.
How do the Black Muslims feel about this conference.? Where the heck has Farracon gone to, the silence from that fraction is curious to me.
