We Challenge Hizb ut-Tahrir to a Public Debate Before the American People

The anti-democracy organization Hizb ut-Tahrir America once again seeks to gain new recruits to its anti-democracy, anti-religious freedom cause on July 11 in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Illinois.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) led the effort to demonstrate at Hizb ut-Tahrir America’s first public event in July 2009, to demonstrate that the American people are committed to democracy, equality, liberty, and our universal human rights.

We have written the Hizb ut-Tahrir America organization and challenged them to a public debate before the American people on their views in seeking a global Khilafah (Caliphate) versus our views of unqualified, Universal Human Rights for all people. We are issuing this public challenge to Hizb ut-Tahrir America to do so.

Hizb ut-Tahrir also has repeatedly called for the “death penalty” for those who leave Islam.  At Hizb ut-Tahrir America’s July 19, 2009 event in Chicago, they distributed a pamphlet (page 62) that supports killing those individuals who leave Islam as guilty of “treason and a political attack on the Khilafah.”

R.E.A.L. has Muslim supporters who share this commitment for democracy, equality, liberty, and our universal human rights.  We know that Hizb ut-Tahrir does not represent all Muslims.

We urge other Muslims and all others in America who also share our commitment for such freedoms, especially for religious freedom – including the right to change one’s religion without fear, to contact Responsible for Equality And Liberty via email at info@realcourage.org .

We ask such Muslims who support human freedoms to contact us, so that we can stand in solidarity to show groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir that we are united in rejecting their calls against democracy and against human freedoms.  Join us to demonstrate that we are all united in being Responsible for Equality and Liberty.

Our stand for human rights is also a stand for respect, for dignity, and for love of our fellow human beings.  We do not offer an upraised fist to those we disagree with, but instead offer an outstretched hand of fellowship to urge them to embrace our unqualified universal human rights.

We urge all to Choose Love, Not Hate.  Love Wins.
