Masroor seems to misunderstand some things
Reader comment on article: Hizb ut-Tahrir: Constitution Will Lose

Jul 24, 2009 12:01

It is fine to encourage learning about Islam. It is another thing to say you want to replace the US Constitution with Sharia law. That will not work in this country. We are brought up to respect the laws of our Constitution and we have fought to defend the Constitution and our way of life from those who wish to destroy our freedoms. The outcome of this will be that the more open the Muslim community is about wanting to overthrow our Constitution, the more they will make themselves outcasts in our culture. If you want Sharia law, go to a place where it is accepted already. If Muslims wish to change our society, they are likely to be happier living in a nation where people treat women as possessions, hands are cut off for stealing, and there is no freedom of expression to disagree with authority and religious figures. Individuals with those values will find few willing converts other than people who are already misfits or lost souls. This conference does not seem to have been organized for the purpose of educating the non-Islamic public about Islam, it appears to have had as its goal educating Muslims to take extreme anti-American positions.
