London-based cleric Haitham Al-Haddad is a member of the pan-global Sunni organization Hizb ut-Tahrir, which aims to establish a caliphate, i.e. one government of Sharia Law for all Muslims everywhere

The London-based radical Muslim cleric Haitham Al-Haddad — who sits on the UK’s Islamic Sharia Council, advocates a ban on music, refers to Christians and Jews as “accursed nations,” and calls for Jihad against Israel — is reportedly due to arrive in the Czech Republic on Friday to preach at a mosque and Muslim center in Prague. A prominent local moderate Muslim is calling for the cleric to be banned entry.

This article is so inaccurate that it is libellous.

Haitham has never been and never claimed to be a member of HT.

Having studied with him for ten years I should know.

As for the propaganda here on hating the Jews and Christians etc, then it is just as inaccurrate and is mere distortion.

Freedom of expression, lol - not if you're a Muslim scholar - then it's freedom to have your speech distorted into hate speech and be cast as an archetypal public enemy of Big Brother, with his obedent and ever-worshipful minions clamouring to see who can create the greatest propaganda.
