Hizb-ut-Tahrir hits at Iraqi conflict (23 Mar 2003)
ISLAMIC PARTY HITS AT IRAQI CONFLICT
Muslims in Britain were tonight urged to put pressure on the "cowardly" leaders of
countries in the Middle East providing support for British and American troops in the
war on Iraq.
At a hastily convened emergency seminar, representatives from the Hizb ut-Tahrir
group, an Islamic political party, met in London to speak out against the conflict.
Dr Imran Waheed, a doctor based in Birmingham, said it was vital for Muslims to put
pressure on those allowing the allies to use their land for military bases.
He singled out Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The doctor also said that Pakistan and Iran were wrong to remain neutral.
"There is no time to be neutral when the people of Iraq are being killed," he said.
"Sadly, the leaders of the Muslim world are more than happy to look after the
interests of the western nations rather than the interests of their people.
"They have no ideology and they have no values with which they want to stand up for -
they don't even believe in nationalism."
Dr Waheed said these countries were betraying the Islamic faith by condoning the
killing of Muslims.
Addressing the gathering in the Brondesbury Park Hotel in north London, he said the
party believed Iraq should retain the right to own weapons of mass destruction.
He said: "We believe that the Muslim world needs these weapons as well so they can
compete with the western world who currently have the superiority over them in terms
of weapons."
And he said the UN weapons inspectors should have been thrown out of Iraq.
The doctor claimed that the strikes on Iraq were part of a modern colonialism by the
allies.
"We believe military action which has been instigated by America and Britain is once
again showing their colonialist nature," he said.
He cited the example of US troops hoisting the American flag in southern Iraq today,
and said it was a sign of conquest.
Dr Waheed told his audience that he feared America and Britain would replace Saddam
Hussein with a leader who had the west's best interests at heart.
"We do not want to see him replaced with an Iraqi version of Hamid Karzai."
Despite the party's strong anti-war stance, Mr Waheed was highly critical of the Iraqi
leader.
"Saddam Hussein is a western inspired ruler.
"He gains his authority and position at the hands of the west who supported him and
nurtured him through many years - who armed him.
"He is no friend to the Muslims, hundreds of our members have perished in his torture
chambers for working to undermine him and the system he governs."
At tonight's seminar, Muslims were urged to stand up with their "brothers and sisters
in Iraq".
Dr Waheed stressed that their vitriol was focused on the British and American
governments and not the ordinary people.
"We will not be directing sentiments of anger towards the people of the west, but the
governments of the west who are undertaking this action.
"The time is coming when the Muslims of the world are going to rise up against their
puppet rulers, eject America and Britain from the Muslim world, and re-establish a
global Islamic state."
Hizb ut-Tahrir has members throughout the world and saw 10,000 people attend a
conference in London last year.
