This report was released by Hizb ut-Tahrir Britain earlier this year.
While the country further degenerates into chaos, colonist occupiers gather in a militarised Afghanistan to convene yet another Afghan conference (20th July 2010). The only visible ‘progress’ since the last conference in London is the fact that this one is actually being held in Afghanistan. This conference like the previous ones is yet another public relations exercise to justify the brutal continued occupation of a country and its people who have seen nothing but misery since the invasion in 2003.

Executive Summary
A major sign of incompetence is a person who does the same thing over and over again while each time expecting different results. President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Gordon Brown seem to be trapped in such an illusion. In 2001, when Western leaders ordered the invasion of Afghanistan, they set out their objectives for its occupation. They talked of bringing peace to the region, establishing a government which is accountable, promoting economic and industrial development, ending opium trade and securing the rights of the Afghan people.

Hizb ut Tahrir Britain is deeply saddened by the news of the deaths of several thousand Bangladeshis after the worst cyclone to hit the country in its history. The government has declared the aftermath of cyclone Sidr, which hit coastal areas with winds of 150mph, a national disaster. Estimates suggest as many as 2300 have been killed with fears that as many as 10,000 may have died. Thousands have been made homeless and are without the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter. The Bangladeshi government's response to the emergency has been predictably slow and inadequate.
Hizb ut Tahrir Britain calls upon all Muslim countries to urgently send aid and assistance to the Muslims of Bangladesh and encourages the Muslims of Britain to support our brothers and sisters by giving sadaqah. At the very least ,we must remember our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh in our duas and pray that Allah (swt) gives them sabr and help, for He (swt) is the best of helpers.

Policy Exchange
Living Apart Together
 From Policy Exchange: Policy Exchange has released Living Apart Together: British Muslims and the paradox of multiculturalism, a major new survey of the attitudes of Muslims in Britain and the reasons behind the rapid rise in Islamic fundamentalism amongst the younger generation. The research finds that there is a growing religiosity amongst the younger generation of Muslims and that they feel that they have less in common with non-Muslims than do their parents. Significantly, they exhibit a much stronger preference for Islamic schools and sharia law and place a greater stress on asserting their identity publicly, for example, by wearing the hijab.

Rand: Civil Democratic Islam
Partners, Resources, and Strategies
By: Cheryl Benard
 Editor's Summary: Contemporary Islam is struggling within itself over its values, identity, and place in the world, with rivals contending for spiritual and political dominance--as well as with the "outside" world. In Western eyes, the ideal Islamic community would be democratic, economically viable, politically stable, and socially progressive and would follow the rules and norms of international conduct. But as the international community strives to understand all this and, possibly, influence the outcome, the best approaches--or even whom to approach--are not always easy to determine. As an aid to the process, this report compares and contrasts the subgroups within Islam. The author recommends careful deliberation in deciding how to proceed, taking into account the symbolic weight of certain issues, the meaning likely to be assigned to any positions U.S. policymakers might take on these issues, the consequences for other Islamic actors, and the opportunity costs and possible unintended consequences. With all that in mind, the author then makes her own series of recommendations.

Civitas: The ‘West’, Islam and Islamism
Quotes:
•Two central concepts from traditional Islam—shari‘a and
jihad (Islamic Holy Law and Islamic Holy War or
struggle)—have been revived and extended by modern
Islamists in ways which are incompatible with the United
Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, espe-
cially with regard to equality before the law and equality
between men and women.
•The shari‘a is derived from the Koran and the hadith;
there is no other kind of Islamic law. Shari‘a law requires
inequalities between Muslims and: (i) Christians/Jews; (ii)
all other non-Muslims; and also between men and women.
Slavery has been endemic in the Muslim world for centu-
ries and still continues in, for example, Sudan today.
•Jihad can be interpreted spiritually as a struggle to lead
a holy life. But it can be extended to mean an obligation—
imposed by Allah on all Muslims—to strive unceasingly to
convert or to subjugate non-Muslims. Jihad in this latter
sense is without limit of time or space and continues until
the whole world accepts Islam or submits to the Islamic
state.
