Salamu alaikum bro..
-hvor meget kender du egentlig til Quilliam Foundation, andet end at de er stærkt kritiske overfor HT ? Kender du til en af lederne Ed Hussain der er kommet med flere udtalelser der er KUFR (bl.a. tager klart afstand fra klare vers i Koranen og bakker op omkring USAs politik i de muslimske lande))?
Kender du til deres stærkt sekularistiske agenda (adskillelse af Islam og de verdslige affærer?
Kender du til at selv mainstream/moderate kræfter i England, klart afviser denne gruppe som værende antiIslamisk og at de også afvises af talrige ´ulama, selv dem der er kendt for at være "moderate" (såsom Yusuf al Qardawi). Eller er du bekendt med deres agenda og støtter/sympatiserer du med dem?
Apropos det du skriver med at HTere afviser at diskutere med dem og tage deres udfordring op, så er jeg bekendt med at Quilliam drengene i mange henseender selv afviser at tage offentlige debatter op med ulama (fra ahlusunna waljamaa), men er ellers glade for at dukke op i Fox/CNN og flirte med senatet i Washington og den britiske regering. Her er en kilde:
Bizarrely the Quilliam Foundation challenges “Islamist” groups to public debates, in particular Hizb ut-Tahrir.[429] However, when given the opportunity on BBC’s “World Have Your Say” (WHYS) programme, "Husain declined the offer to challenge a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir live on air, claiming that he did not want to give a platform to activists.”[430] Husain argued, “‘Sometimes it’s as simple as some people being wrong, and some being right. I’ve better things to do than argue with these people.’ …he went on, ‘I suppose you’ll be asking the British National Party on next’. ‘We did just that last year’ I replied.”[431]
The Foundation’s arguments may have been credible if Hizb ut-Tahrir did not already have a high profile, providing global media appearances, reviews in leading academic journals, periodicals, and research papers, debated across the web and present in communities across the UK and the globe. Hizb ut-Tahrir no doubt will want to carefully consider whether it wishes to give Quilliam Foundation any profile by engaging with it.[432]
Inverting the Foundation’s challenge, critics have posted challenges which the Foundation has failed to respond to - “…could you, "Ed" or your Research policy guy, Rashad, please post your evidences that you said that you would have making the case from Islamic texts, for Muslims to recognize the state of Israel and have FULL diplomatic relations with it. Would you also be willing to condemn those academics who have tried to organize an embargo/boycott of Israel on University campuses? Please put this in writing if so.”[433] Husain’s evasive and feeble response, "…kindly tell us more about yourself and your past/current affiliations with Islamism (of any shade). For others waiting in the wings, please introduce yourself or your family connections to Islamism which make you vulnerable to rise to the defence of Islamism. Otherwise, I reserve the right to silence. Mohamed Mahbub Husain."[434]
