Press Release
Hizb ut Tahrir Britain to Protest Turkey’s Servitude to Colonial Plans against the Muslims

97 years ago on the 28th of Rajab, the traitor Mustafa Kamal obeyed the demands of his British masters by abolishing the Khilafah (Caliphate) system. This plot against the Muslim Ummah to establish a secular (non-religious) state on the ashes of the Islamic Ottoman Caliphate was the beginning of a century of Turkish leaders’ betrayal and service to Western colonial interests. Today Erdogan obeys his American masters to hand Syria back to the butcher Assad, in complicity with the murderer and his Russian and Iranian backers.

In 1949, the secular Turkish regime officially recognised the Jewish entity (Israel) on the Blessed Land (Palestine). Despite the Turkish regime’s President Tayyib Erdogan’s deceptive words, he is strengthening the economic and military ties with the illegal occupation by the day in which his government recently called for a tripling in annual trade with the Jewish entity’s criminal state. All the while the aggression of the occupiers against the people of the Blessed Land (Palestine), as we are witnessing today. This is the reality of the Turkish secular state headed by the tyrant Erdogan: whose role is to protect the colonialists’ interests in our lands, defending and strengthening our enemies who murder us in Syria and Palestine.

On the 27th of Rajab (Saturday 14th of April), Hizb ut Tahrir Britain will be holding a demonstration outside the Turkish Embassy in London to expose the treacherous nature of the secular Turkish regime and its conspiracy against the Muslim Ummah.

We call upon Muslims to join us to STAND, STRUGGLE AND SACRIFICE FOR PALESTINE.

  27th Rajab is the night when the Prophet (saw) went on the night journey to al-Aqsa, as Allah (swt) says:

﴿سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ﴾

“Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing." [Surah Al-Isra 17:1]

The land of Isra and Mi’raj is occupied by the Jewish entity who is constantly harming and spilling the blood of the Muslims. The rulers in the Muslim lands collaborate and conspire in the Jewish entity's massacres in the Blessed Land (Palestine). While in Palestine the brave people are raising their voices to speak out and protest against the illegal occupation, as they are mercilessly killed by the usurping Jewish entity.

     Almost a century since the destruction of the Khilafah State and the Muslim lands occupied, we call upon the Muslim Ummah to bring back its shield, the Khilafah on the way of Prophethood. Unlike the current traitorous rulers, the Khilafah State will use the Ummah’s vast economic and military resources to end the oppression in in the Blessed Land (Palestine) and the other occupied Muslim lands to be a shining light to humanity, to guide them out of the darkness that they currently endure. The Prophet (saw) said:

«... ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ نُبُوَّةٍ»“...Then there will be a Khilafah Rashidah according to the way of Prophethood.”

The demonstration will start at 2pm opposite the Turkish Embassy at 43 Belgrave Square London SW1X 8PA.
