Not a week goes by without Islam or Muslims making the news headlines. There appears to be an ugly campaign to malign Muslims and to attack Islam. Many non-Muslims have even commented on the insidious nature of the attacks on Islam, which has made the wider community suspicious of Muslims and fear Islam. As a direct consequence, this has created an atmosphere of hostility against Muslims living in the west.
The campaign is provocative, divisive and is designed to weaken the resolve of Muslims in Britain, ultimately producing a compliant and subjugated Muslim minority following a new, diluted version ‘Islam'. The Muslim community must not fall prey to the provocation. Our response must not be reactive or reactionary. We must be united. We must be firm in our rebuttals and at all times uphold the way of life (deen) of Islam without being aggressive.
Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain has launched a nation-wide campaign to defend Islam. Hizb ut Tahrir Britain's Stand for Islam is a grassroots campaign to mobilise the Muslim community in Britain to defend Islam, the honour of the Prophet (saw) and the values and teachings of a way of life held by over a billion people world-wide.
Allah (swt) says:
"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knows best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." (TMQ Surah al - Nahl 16:125)
