Extremist Islamist Group Hizb ut-Tahrir's Anti-Semitic Materials Under Investigation Amid London Demonstrations

Hizb ut-Tahrir under scrutiny for hate speech and instigating violence following London rallies, while authorities grapple with ways to counter the group's influence among young mosque-goers.

• Hizb ut-Tahrir, an extremist Islamist group, has come under scrutiny for the distribution of hate messages and incitement of violence, particularly amid London demonstrations and targeting young mosque-goers.
• The group's materials have included celebratory references to the massacre of over 1,400 Israelis, causing alarm among local authorities and the Community Security Trust (CST), an organization that monitors anti-Semitism.
• Despite alleged anti-Semitic activities, Hizb ut-Tahir denies these accusations, citing its non-support for Hamas and instead aiming to combat 'the hate speech of the Western elite.'
• London's mayor's office and the imam of a mosque have taken steps to counteract Hizb ut-Tahrir's influence, including creating alternative narratives through sermons and workshops on tolerance and British Muslim identities.
• While the extremist group is banned in countries like Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan for potential links to violent extremism and aims to establish a caliphate in the Middle East, it remains legal in the UK.
