While reviewing the events of last year the media and through its programs on 12.31.2010 and 01.01.2011, focused on the incident of the lashing of the  Sudanese woman that took place at the end of last year ...

 The Central Media Office Representative of Hizb ut-Tahrir commented:

A video posted on the internet lately of two policemen in Sudan lashing a woman in public while laughing understandably caused domestic and international outrage. She was initially lashed on her back then her head, front, hands, and legs , unlike the provisions of Islam in how to establish AL-HUDOOD to avoid the head and face and this can be done only  after having the Islamic judicial law. In addition, the State that has established the" Hadd"  not only doesn't rule with Islam in all it's internal and external affairs , but also  Colludes with the U.S. in the crime of dividing off South Sudan.

Anti-Islam opportunists have once again jumped upon this incident to accuse Islam of oppressing women, although Islam is the only system that gives the woman her full rights, and preserves her security and dignity, and exercises justice in the judiciary which isn't approached within any other system.

The lie of Omar Bashir implementing the Shariah laws has become blatantly clear for many Muslims to see, but anti-Islam opportunists have unscrupulously exploited this incident to regurgitate the age-old allegation of women's oppression under Islamic rule, at a time in which every fair one is aware of the justice of Islam, integrity and security for both men and women.

Furthermore, at a time when the US is working to divide the country, this video comes as a perfect distraction of the great crime of the Bashir government in colluding with the Americans to partition the land and allowing this foreign power to wreak havoc in Sudan. It also functions as an apt propaganda tool for those wishing to influence the outcome of January's referendum in the direction of splitting the nation and to incite fear and opposition towards the establishment of the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate" in the region.

For those who genuinely wish to understand the status of women under Islamic rule, in contrast to those who have more sinister political motives for espousing women's rights should take a look at the elevated position of women under the Khilafah "Caliphate".

- This is a state that will implement the full rights of citizenship for women in education, economics, politics and the legal sphere such as ensuring due process and fair open trials as prescribed by Islam.

- A state that will take with deadly seriousness any allegations of  abuse or rape.

- A system that has a sincere concern for women's dignity, prohibiting her objectification and secularization unlike liberal governments that cry women's rights with one hand while allowing their exploitation in pornography and prostitution on the other.

- A state that has a true appreciation of the responsibility of guarding the welfare of women in contrast to Western democratic governments who accuse Islam of subjugating women while simultaneously embracing dictatorial regimes in the Muslim world who arrest, imprison, torture, and defile Muslim women for simply opposing the corruption of their rulers.

Is it any wonder then that women across the Muslim world are increasingly turning their hopes towards the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate"? - A state that will turn talk of women's rights from rhetoric to reality and herald a welcome end to Western pliant regimes such as Bashir's that have stripped away their rights and deprived them of security and justice for so long.

{ إن فى ذلك لذكرى لمن كان له قلب أو ألقى السمع وهو شهيد }

(In that the memory of those who have a heart or who gives ear and earnestly witnesses)

     December 31, 2010:  After Friday prayer all throughout the West Bank, members of Hizb ut-Tahrir gave a bold speech that instigated the rage of the Palestinian Authority resulting in more than one hundred arrests and numerous attacks on members of HT including verbal and physical assaults against women and children.  Mostly evident in Bidya near Salfeet.  The Palestinian Authority unleashed its Security Forces against innocent bystanders.  Many of whom were physically assaulted and detained because of their relation to members of Hizb ut-Tahrir.  They used a variety of scare tactics to try to arrest as many Hizb ut-Tahrir members as possible, while threatening their wives and children.  In Bidya, there were reports of physical assaults against women as they tried to prevent various Security Forces from beating their husbands, brothers, and sons.

The message was clear to on-lookers as they watched in shock and dismay as the Palestinian Authority ravaged through people's homes and belongings searching for certain members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, especially those who gave the speech after the Friday Khutba. The Palestinian Authority was on a hunt-down and was given license to use any means necessary to bring those who vocally oppose their actions, thus including firing live bullets in the air to clear the streets. 

The speech rang clearly through Palestinians' minds and hearts reminding the vast public of the betrayal and corruption by their regime.  The Palestinian Authority used to chant the mantra that Palestine will be liberated from the sea to the river and will never relent or forfeit an inch of the Holy Land.  Now the Palestinian Authority regime is negotiating with the occupier for only 20% of their land.  What happened to their honor and pact to the millions of Palestinians?  They have subjected their people to corruption especially against women and the upcoming generations.  Using tax dollars and external support to fight against Islam and morals to achieve their gains.  They heed the call of the Americans and Jews to fight against their own people trampling against their own Supreme Court and Laws to extinguish the call to the Truth.

The speech also pointed out the case of Mohammad Al-Khateeb, a civilian, who was unjustly sentenced to six months under martial law despite being found innocent of any charges by the High Court of Palestine.

The speech reminded them that they are the best Ummah---they are the descendants of the Prophet (pbuh), the Sahabah (ra), and the martyrs who forsake their lives in the name of Allah swt. Do not be afraid of any existing regime for it is Allah swt who holds your life and rizqa (livelihood) in His Mighty Hands.  Be brave as the former mujahideen were in the face of the enemy.  Palestine is not for the PA to abandon to the Jews ---the Holy Land belongs to each and every single Muslim in the world. 

The Hizb concluded the speech by reinforcing its message to the masses that it will not cease its call for the Khilafah "Caliphate" to be brought into existence which will liberate all occupied lands and rescue oppressed Muslims world-wide. No regime will be able to stop Hizb ut-Tahrir from spreading its message to the Muslims world-wide.  The Khilafah "Caliphate" will restore the lost dignity to its Ummah, restore its pride and glory to the Muslims.

((... لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ (4) بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ (5)

   {To Allah belongs the command before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice in the victory of Allah. He gives victory to which He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.} (Ar-Rum 4-5).

London 26th December 2010 - On 26th December 2010 Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain held a special event to examine the betrayal of Pakistan's rulers in light of the latest Wikileaks revelations. The event was chaired by Rizwan Hussain, member of Hizb ut Tahrir's Pakistan Committee and was addressed by Imam Qaiser Raheem and Khaja Pervez Hassan

In recent days some Swedish media have attempted to create a link between Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT) and the "Swedish Bomber" by introducing malicious rumours and unfounded assertions. Hence we feel obliged to point out the following:

HT is a political party aiming at re-establishing the Islamic State (the Khilafah "Caliphate") in the Islamic world
