An Islamic extremist group called Hizb ut-Tahrir that opposes democracy and supports violent jihad, including the killing of U.S. soldiers, is coming to Rolling Meadows, Illinois on June 17. The conference, titled “Revolution: Liberation by Revelation–Muslims Marching Toward Victory” is about how Muslims must help resurrect the Caliphate and institute Sharia-based governance.
The event is to be held at the Meadows Club at 2950 W. Golf Rd from noon to 4:00 PM EST.
If you wish to express your opinion to the Meadows Club, the business can be contacted at info@themeadowsclub.com or called at 847-640-3200.
In 2010, Hizb ut-Tahrir’s annual conference at the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook hotel was canceled after the venue dropped the group’s reservation.
Hizb ut-Tahrir (HUT) was founded in 1953 in East Jerusalem when it was under the control of Jordan. It was begun by a former member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood named Sheikh Muhammad Taqiuddin al-Nabhani. He also worked with with Haj Amin al-Husseini, a cleric who is most famous for his close alliance with Hitler. HUT came to the U.S. in the early 1990s under a front called “Walnut,” or the Islamic Cultural Workshop. HUT now operates openly in the U.S.
Zeyno Baran, an expert on Islamist groups, calls HUT a “conveyor belt for terrorists.” Multiple members have been radicalized by its preaching, which gives Muslims every reason to become violent, and gone on to commit terrorism. Examples include Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
What makes the Meadows Club’s hosting of HUT especially outrageous is the fact that HUT is outwardly anti-American and jihadist. The promotional video for the conference features a clip of a protester in the Middle East declaring, “We are here to say that we want to reestablish an Islamic state with Sharia as the “only source of legislation.” This is followed by a clip of an Egyptian cleric preaching, “Oh Muslims! Rise up to aid and support the call for Khilafah [Caliphate] even if it is at the expense of your lives.”
Hizb ut-Tahrir says that it is non-violent, but the reality is more complicated. It does not engage in violent jihad as an organization but that doesn’t mean that it opposes violent jihad by its members on their own accord or by other groups. Its website explains:
“So whenever the disbelieving enemies attack an Islamic country it becomes compulsory on its Muslim citizens to repel the enemy. The Hizb ut-Tahrir in that country are part of the Muslims and it is obligatory upon them.to fight the enemy and repel them. Wherever there is a Muslim amir who declares jihad.the members of Hizb ut-Tahrir will respond in their capacity as Muslims in the country where the general call to arms was proclaimed.”
HUT’s Facebook page links to an article by “Hizb-ut-Tahrir Publications” about jihad. It opens with Quran 9:29: “Fight those who believe neither in Allah nor the Last Day.until they pay the Jizya [a special tax for non-Muslims] with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” Non-Islamist Muslims may have a passive interpretation of this passage’s meaning, but Hizb ut-Tahrir’s threatening interpretation is clear.
The author of the article fondly recalls the “days when the Islamic Ummah [the Muslim community] was an ummah of jihad” and how “the Jihad of the Muslims imprinted in the minds of the Europeans the notion that the army of Islam is invincible.” The power of the Muslim world has fallen because Muslims “relinquished jihad.”
The group has called for killing U.S. soldiers specifically. In January 2010, it accused the “U.S. crusaders” of massacring Afghan children and stated that it must “be answered by sharp swords of Muslim united armies under true Muslim leaders.” The invitation to an HUT conference in Denmark in January 2011 mentioned “the duty of armed resistance of the Muslims in Afghanistan and its environs. We consider this resistance as fully legitimate.” HUT has also published materials supporting jihad against U.S. and Coalition forces in Iraq.
After the bombings in London in 2005, a top HUT official was asked to condemn them. His response was that he’d “condemn what happened in London only after there is a promise from Western leaders to condemn what they have done in Falluja and other parts of Iraq and in Afghanistan.” Its Facebook page has promoted an anti-democracy lecture by Anwar al-Awlaki, the Al-Qaeda leader who was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.
The vilest rhetoric is directed at Israel and Jews as a whole. A HUT document reads, “if the plane belongs to a country at war with Muslims, like Israel, it is allowed to hijack it, for there is no sanctity for Israel or for the Jews in it.” A HUT spokesman in Denmark distributed a leaflet that instructed Muslims to “kill them all [Jews], wherever you find them” and endorsed suicide bombings against Israel as acts of “martyrdom.”
After the Turkish flotilla incident in 2010, HUT’s branch in the U.S. supported violent retaliation. “There is no solution except to mobilize armies, gathering the capable soldiers and fight the Jews.” It criticized Pakistan and Iran for not attacking Israel. “O you possessors of the missiles that you boast can blow ‘Israel’ off the map, so where are you now, O Pakistan and Iran’s rulers?” it asked.
The Pakistani branch of HUT told the country’s military must “prepare nuclear bombs and other weapons for Jihad.fight under this command to annihilate Israel.” The Bangladeshi branch said Muslims must “eradicate Israel and purify the earth of Jewish filth.”
HUT also supports violent jihad against India. In July 2011, the Pakistani HUT believes “The only way Kashmir can be liberated is through organized jihad under a state that mobilizes the armies.” Its journal from December 19995 said “Muslims need swords, not candles” in Iraq and the Palestinian territories. HUT leaders have also been videotaped endorsing jihad in Chechnya and Kashmir.
The group is openly hostile to Western secularism and democracy. It does not even pretend to believe in the system. A speaker during its last conference in the U.S. admitted that HUT would dismiss the Constitution entirely and replace it with Sharia Law. One past edition of its publication compared the Founding Fathers to “tyrant dictators.”
A small sampling of the videos on the YouTube channel HUT used to post its advertisement for the Illinois conference confirms the group’s extremism. One video, titled “A Call to Jihad by Abu Abdallah Attempted Silence in a Jordanian Mosque,” tells Muslims that the U.S., U.N. and Europe are “enemies to Islam and Muslims.” The cleric is seen shouting, “Your covenant is not a civil state, secular state nor democratic state legislating on your behalf!” In another video, four young boys dressed in HUT gear call on Muslims to revolt in Morocco and re-establish the Caliphate.
During its conference last year near Chicago, HUT passed out a document explaining the structure of the future Islamic state. Article 7 states, “Those that are guilty of apostasy (murtad) from Islam are to be executed according to the rule of apostasy, provided they have themselves renounced Islam.” The proposed Caliphate will have an Internal Affairs Department with a division devoted to investigating apostasy. It also sketched out several top posts dedicated to waging jihad.
The group’s branch in Indonesia is currently outraged at a bill that would promote women’s rights, especially a part that allows women to freely choose who they want to marry. HUT’s branch in Indonesia wants to stone and cane celebrities that make sex tapes, censor the Internet according to Sharia law, stone adulterers to death and punish those that have sex outside of marriage by caning them 100 times in public.
This is what is coming to Rollings Meadows, Illiniois on June 17. Let the Meadows Club know how you feel about and if you’re a local resident, how it’ll affect your business there.

Join Protest of the Chicago Caliphate Conference by Extremist Radical Islamist Group Hizb ut-Tahrir,
Extremists launch Hindu-Sikh hate campaign
Hizb-ut-Tahrir(HuT) is an ultra fundamentalist terrorist group. HuT, and other similar outfits, call for a JIHAD (Holy War) against Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and all those who do not submit to their intolerant ideology. These groups are now active in over 50 UK college campuses, specially targeting young and unsuspecting Hindu and Sikh women for conversion. HuT often uses Islamic, Pakistan and Culture societies as front to preach its Hindu-Sikh hatred.

We Muslims don’t want ‘Kafirs’ such as Sikh and Hindu children in this school to mix with out children…If your childrencome to this school we will bully you boys like the way we did to they boy who committed suicide, and we will make you daughters pregnant and change them into Islam.” The Chalvey Muslim Boys
The truth about conversions…
At the Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) conference at the Wembley Arena in August 1994, a Sikh girl was converted on stage in front of 8000 cheering and clapping Muslims. The Sikh girl then proceeded to attack Sikhism making particularly offensive statements against Sikh Gurus. The audience laughed and continued to cheer. Some of this speech was televised on satellite T.V. and on the HuT’s pirate radio station. Muslim leaders at the conference called for an intensification of the campaign to bring Sikh and Hindu women to Islam. The same thing happened at the HuT’s ‘Rally for Islam’ conference in Trafalger Square, in August 1995. This time 2 Hindu women were converted on stage in front of 2000 cheering Muslims.
Again Muslim leaders, demanded that Muslim boys try harder to convert Sikh and Hindu girls.
HuT leader issued a directive in January 1995, to specially selected male members telling them to place Ads in Personal Columns of National Asian newspapers inviting relationship from Asian women. They were told to write that the religion and nationality of the girl were unimportant and be ambiguous about their own backgrounds by for example only describing themselves as Asian. They were further told to form intimate relationships with only Sikh and Hindu girls who replied with the aim of conversion. The expense of the Ads and any dates was to be paid by the HuT.
Certain Muslims have taken to wearing Karas (Sikh steel bracelets) at Bhangra gigs, with the aim of specifically seeking to meet Sikh and Hindu girls. When meeting the girls, these people identify themselves in such a way that the girl does not realise they are Muslim, for example by shortening the name Mohammed to Mohan. They then form a relationship with the girl and begin the slow path to conversion.
HuT leadership has instructed it’s members to specifically target ‘problem’ groups for conversion. These include young teenage girls, people with social problems, the recently bereaved and victims of abuse as children. These people are considered to be weak willed and so easily manipulated. Once identified, the Muslim will try to convince their target that Islam will magically solve all their problems. Incidentally in 1992, the HuT produced an article telling Muslim men to particularly target “non-Muslim girls with plain or unattractive physical facial or body feature”. These girls the article said would not be “accustomed to this attention” and would do anything to maintain any relationship. It went on to say that the “discomfort you may feel in such a relationship, especially if intimate, is only temporary however the rewards you will receive in Heaven will last for eternity”.
The HuT had instructed Muslims to work in groups when converting, with one person forming a very close friendship with their target. The group then works to find out the strengths and weakness of the person involved and then will work accordingly, if for example, the person loves sport and is very athletic, they will go on about how Islam actively encourages sport and all the world’s best sportsmen such as Mohammed Ali, Tyson and Imran Khan are Muslims. If the person has a strongly anti-while attitude, they will stir up racial hatred against whites even more by talking about past white injustice against them. This policy has been used effectively with Afro-Caribbeans, with whom they talk about the slave trade and give Malcom X as a role model (Muslim groups leafleted black cinema audiences watching Malcom X when it was released).
Similarly, hard-up students have been offered well-paid jobs with Muslim business, providing they convert.
Forced conversions do occur. There have been many documented cases (at least one in Southall) when Sikh and Hindu girls have been taken to Pakistan by their Muslim boyfriends and forcibly converted. Those resisting are passed on to other Muslim men who keep the girl under lock and key, in some remote village without telephones. All the girl’s money and her passport are taken away.
Other cases have occurred when Sikh and Hindu girls are photographed naked by their Muslim boyfriends, who tell the girl to convert or the photos will be published in magazine and sent to the girl’s family and friends. These are tragically not scare stories but actual facts.
Conversions to Islam almost always occur out of a person’s ignorance or misunderstanding of their own religion. Take the time to understand you religion and educate others. The process of conversion is usually very subtle and gradual. It always occurs by progressively undermining your culture and religion through misquoting religion texts and falsifying historical events. Be on your guard, and stop them from spreading lies about your religion be you Sikh or Hindu. The HuT and other Muslim groups have said that they aim to make France, an Islamic Republic by the year 2015, and Britain by 2025 through conversions, immigration and high Muslim birth rates. They must be stopped.
YOU DID IT! Venue Cancels Radical Islamic Conference
On Thursday, June 7, we asked you to contact The Meadows Club of Rolling Meadows, Illinois about their hosting of a conference by the jihadist group named Hizb ut-Tahrir (HUT). The venue was flooded by emails and phone calls, and it didn’t take long before they decided to cancel the event. A few days later Hizb ut-Tahrir’s website announced that they had found another venue that would remain secret until closer to the conference date, which is this Sunday, June 17. Stay alert and stay tuned here:
