R.E.A.L. Demonstration/Outreach to Hizb ut-Tahrir at DC Area Conference

On June 14, 2015, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) held a demonstration and human rights outreach in defense of Democracy, Equality, and Universal Human Rights, outside of the extremist convention by the Hizb ut-Tahrir America organization in a Virginia suburb of our nation’s capital.

R.E.A.L. has protested the extremist views of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Chicago at other national conferences and around the world since 2009.  R.E.A.L. has challenged Hizb ut-Tahrir and its supporters at such conferences to reconsider their calls to deny universal human rights and equality for other people, and their calls for a global caliphate “Khilafah” to persecute other Muslims and people with different views.

We have seen that ISIS has also promoted such a “Khilafah” and we have seen and documented the violence and oppression that the ISIS terrorist group has used in promoting its “Khilafah” approach to public oppression.

It is and has been R.E.A.L.’s position that we must consistently support the Universal Human Rights for all people of all identity groups around the world, including defending their rights to freedom, equality, dignity, and security.

It is and has been R.E.A.L.’s position that those promoting a global caliphate government will defy such universal human rights and will actively seek to deny human rights for others.  As in the case of Hizb ut-Tahrir, they actively reject democracy, they actively reject women’s rights, and they actively reject religious freedom for others.  R.E.A.L.’s Jeffrey Imm saw Hizb ut-Tahrir extremist documents being distributed at the first Hizb ut-Tahrir America convention in Chicago suburbs (Oak Brook, Illinois) which called in writing for the death penalty for those who chose another religion and left Islam.

We believe that our Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) Article 18, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Part III Article 18, not only gives us freedom of religion, but also gives us freedom of conscience, and the right for those who choose to be religious to change their religion, or to change their views.

We reject the extremist views of Hizb ut-Tahrir and Hizb ut-Tahrir America.  We call for others who are passionate to stand up in defense of Democracy and in defense of our universal human rights.

Every day is another good day for all of us to be…

Responsible for Equality And Liberty.

Khilafah “Justice” on Gays is Murder

In another of attack on universal human rights, life, and dignity, news of the Khilafah-seeking ISIS terror group shows the terrorists committing more killings of gays.   The ISIS authoritarian group has established its own religious Hisbah “police force.”  In lands where ISIS occupying powers have taken control, reports state the ISIS group has been using “undercover operatives” to lure gays out, and then beating them to death by stoning or throwing them off of buildings in  public executions.

The Khilafah ISIS Hisbah religious police use undercover “flirt squads” to try to seduce and entrap gays for public execution. In addition, the Khilafah’s Hisbah also frame people as gay, to rationalize such public murders.

We call for the world public to show OUTRAGE for the public and atrocious murders of gays by these authoritarians. Their contemptible human rights violations deserve the world’s condemnation.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L) supports the universal human rights, life, and human dignity of all of our brothers and sisters in humanity. We reject the authoritarian tactics of hunting and murdering people for their sexual orientation, or for any of their identity group characteristics, as a fundamental attack on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and a fundamental attack on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

These monstrous public spectacles to use authoritarian measures to deny human rights to anyone because of the identity group are an attack on our universal human rights – by ANYONE who denies these human rights.

Rejecting these horrific human rights violations is not an attack on Islam, but is a call for ending these crimes against humanity by the Khilafah group ISIS.

“An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The words by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. resonate as a fundamental basis for our shared human rights.

As previously reported by R.E.A.L, the fascist tactics by the anti-freedom group which seeks the establishment of a dictatorial Khilafah demonstrate their complete and total contempt for the equality and liberty which are our shared fundamental human rights.

We urge the friends of freedom to continue to challenge authoritarians and authoritarian murderers who are at WAR with our shared universal human rights. Together, we must be united to be Responsible for Equality And Liberty.
