Banning Hizb ut-Tahrir is a Democratic Bankruptcy

(Translated)

After a vicious smear campaign against one of our youth, launched by media outlets and politicians - based solely on his Islamic beliefs and values - the three parties in the Danish government renewed their political call to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir in Denmark. This is not the first time that Danish politicians have resorted to the "ban card" out of initial desperation. The Director of Public Prosecutions has concluded, on three separate occasions, that there is no constitutional basis for such a ban.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is known globally for not using violence, but rather relies on purely political and intellectual work. This fact does not change the politically motivated judgments against a number of our youth for their public call for the liberation of Palestine. On the contrary! Every time a political desire to ban us is raised, successive Danish governments get closer to their friends and allies in torture states, where political opponents and people with different values ​​are persecuted for their beliefs and expressions. It is precisely these authoritarian regimes in the Islamic countries that Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks to overthrow in order to establish the Islamic State; the Caliphate, according to the doctrine and history of the Muslim peoples in the Islamic countries as well.

The lie that we are working to overthrow Danish society has been refuted countless times, and these refutations require little effort to discover and verify. The only possible explanation is that these politicians, contrary to what they know well, are deliberately inciting hatred and fear to suppress socially engaged Muslims who refuse to submit to secularism, through bans and coercion.

This exposes the blatant hypocrisy of the same political actors who have, for generations, been warning Muslims to endure all kinds of provocations and discriminatory laws in the name of "freedom of expression." At the same time, this highlights the emptiness and fragility of Western secular values ​​that cannot withstand the challenge of Islamic opinions and ideas. It seems that the constitution, the separation of powers, and the principle of freedom of expression are all annoying obstacles for these politicians who have no response to the values ​​of Islam other than attempts at intimidation.

Thus, liberal secular democracy signs its declaration of bankruptcy. The full force of state power, nor the propaganda and lies of the media, have succeeded in convincing Muslims to abandon their values ​​in favor of those promoted by the rulers of Christiansborg and Berlingske Media.

But this is not surprising. What honest person would want to adhere to values ​​that legalize ethnic cleansing, mass starvation of civilians, and genocide?!

No one will subject us to punishment or bans, and certainly not these worthless hypocrites, supporters of genocide. Our work continues successfully, praise be to God.
