Friday 22nd of Febuary 2008, King's Cross, in the climate of tension over the Sharia debate, Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir in association with The Muslim Community Representatives of Camden organised the "What is Sharia?" Seminar, attended by over 80 people from a broad section of the community; local residents (Muslim and non-Muslim), local Church representatives & leaders, Councillors, Camden Council staff, the local Mosque Chairman, committee members of different Mosques, community organisation members, and local young people - both students & professionals alike. It was a full house beyond venue capacity.
The first presentation clarified the meaning of The Sharia in light of the prevailing misconceptions, in particular its position regards women, non-Muslims, the penal code, and highlighted that Muslims seek to implement it politically in the Muslim world. The second presentation addressed the role of The Muslim community in voicing the Truth however difficult it may be. The Q&A session was lively as many participitated with their questions and diverse views, and feedback from many requested future events to likewise address sensitive political issues.
