Islamic Supremacist Group Holds Conference In Chicago

A group committed to establishing an international Islamic empire and reportedly linked to Al Qaeda is stepping up its Western recruitment efforts by holding its first official conference in the U.S.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq’s onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It has operated discreetly in the U.S. for decades.
Now, it is coming out of the shadows and
openly hosting a July 19 conference entitled,
“The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam,” at a posh Hilton hotel in a suburb of Chicago.
Hizb ut-Tahrir insists that it does not engage in terrorism, and it is not recognized by the State Department as a known terror group.
But some terrorism experts say it may be even more dangerous than many groups that are on the terror list.

Should terrorist recruitment groups be allowed to have conferences openly right here in America? During the Obama administration the apparent answer is yes. Tomorrow in Chicago, such a group is meeting at the Hilton Hotel.
According to Col. Ralph Peters, this group professes hatred of the Jews and the destruction of Israel. They say America is evil and that capitalism is wrong. They preach Hizb ut-Tahrirover the world and their goal is to recruit Muslim Americans to become involved in Jihad.
Welcome to America under the Obama administration. An administration that releases terrorists from Guantanamo, brushes aside families of 9/11 victims and threatens to prosecute former government officials who went after the terrorists. An administration that is more concerned about terrorists rights than protecting us from them.
Welcome to terrorist friendly America.
