An International Conference by Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir
Beyond September 11th – Role of Muslims in the West
· Since Bush arrogantly proclaimed, “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists”, Muslims in the West have been compelled to make a stark choice - either to accept the phoney foundations of Bush’s crusade or alternatively to be labelled as the enemy.
· The aftermath of September 11th has brought the brutal bombing of Afghanistan, the detention of Muslims at Guantanamo Bay, the formation of US bases in Central Asia, the green light for Sharon to crush the Muslims in Palestine, the training of government militias in Philippines, the preparation for war with Iraq, and the work to eradicate Islam as a political force in the world.
· In the West, there have been widespread arrests and the internment of thousands of Muslims, the negative media portrayal of Islam, the rise of far-right immigration policies, the procurement of ‘Western friendly’ Muslim activists and the policy to integrate the Muslims into Western society.
· With the spotlight falling on Muslims and Islam, Muslims need to answer some fundamental questions. Questions such as, “How should we view the West?” “Can we live in the West maintaining our Islam?” “What should we accept from the West and what should we reject?” “How do we channel our feelings towards the global Islamic Ummah?” “How do we present a true picture of Islam?”
· The reality of Western culture is plain for all to see. Capitalism overshadows our lives, promising to bring the fruits of a great ‘civilisation’, but in reality eroding the very core values of Islam. The West is characterised by emptiness, escapism and the breakdown of society. In Britain one in twenty women has been raped, child abuse is out of control and drug abuse and crime have become runaway statistics. What is our duty towards this? In order to map out a clear path for Muslims in the West, Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain will embark upon a national campaign explaining the true Role of Muslims in the West.
