Letter--Hizbut Tahrir story

Hizbut Tahrir storyMuhammad Bakhtiyar, On e-mailI've been following and monitoring the activities of Hizbut Tahrir (HT) for the best part of 18 years of my life now. It is well known that HT is a non violent intellectual political entity. In fact many so called jihadi movements are highly critical of their non-violent methodology for change around the globe. They are very clear about their stance on taking up arms for political change - it is not their way of doing things, they rely only on their ideas, they do not have a military wing, that is also very well known. Their work is Islamic politics. In fact ever since their inception in 1953, they've lost many of their members in the hands of brutal rulers around the Muslim world from Libya to Iraq, Uzbekistan to Syria, but they remained very consistent - they did not take up arms against them. This is well documented by various well established sources around the world.
