Tony Blair, when he was still prime minister last year, was urged by the Pakistani president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, to ban the group on the grounds that it “brainwashes people, and that leads to violent acts,” a senior Pakistani official said. Pakistani officials sent a similar message to the British Foreign Office last month.
During Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s first question time last month, the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, asked Mr. Brown, the new Labor leader, why Hizb ut-Tahrir had not been banned.
Mr. Cameron said the group was “poisoning the minds of young people and has said that Jews should be killed wherever they are found.”
Mr. Brown replied that he had been in office only a short while and would look into it. But John Reid, a former home secretary, jumped in, saying there was not sufficient evidence under British law to ban the group.
The spirit of Versailles has crossed the Channel. Yeah, Brownie, just look into it when you get around to it. Don't worry, be happy, that's the spirit, old chap.
Note all the doctors and IT guys and, essentially, professionals attending this conference (not to be intermingled with the babes, though!). It's more and more difficult to think that Islamic Rage is somehow fueled exclusively by poverty rather than resentment being its driving force.
