Accusing the government of trying to build a 'compliant British Islam', a radical Islamic group in the UK has launched a campaign to stop young Muslims being corrupted by Western 'liberal values'.
Hizb ut-Tahrir, which former Prime Minister Tony Blair wanted to ban in Britain, has planned campaigns against Western 'attacks' on Islam.
The move comes as Hizb ut-Tahrirs British arm flayed government plans to combat Islamic 'extremism'. The government had decided to set up a panel of 20 Islamic experts to counter warped interpretations of the Koran and to advise youngsters on key Muslim issues and how 'that fits in with being a citizen in the UK'.
The Islamic group, which describes itself as a global Islamic political party, alleged that the authorities in UK were trying to build a 'compliant British Islam', and complains that the state was involved in an Islamophobic campaign.
''The current smears against Islam and the Sharia, the filthy cartoons defaming our beloved Prophet and the calls in Holland to ban the Koran are part of the propaganda used as part of the war on Islam, commonly called the war on terror,''
Hizb ut-Tahrir spokesman Taji Mustafa was quoted as saying by the Sunday Express.
''It is a supremacist war that aims to force one system, capitalism, and secular liberal values on the whole world,'' he stressed.
According to the British tabloid, the radical group claims young people in particular have been subject to an intense Islamophobic campaign and believes they are at greatest risk from the corrupting influence of Western liberalism, which it brands the cause of binge drinking, gun and knife crime, yo-culture and teenage pregnancies.
