Wahabis don’t like Hizb-ul Tahriir, the same people who are calling for an Islamic caliphate that you quoted in your piece above. In fact they don’t like any other leaders, or sects Muslims to unite under, except the Saudi Royal family and their Wahabi leaders in Saudi Arabia. The Wahabis played a major role in dismantling the last Othman Empire (which had a semblance of a caliph) with the help of the British, a poof guy called Lawrence of Arabia.
Read this dialogue about Hizb Tahriir below by Proud Muslimah and SomaliSiZ
“PS: If you don't mind me asking, who are these hizbu taxriir people/group?â€Â
Asks, Proud Muslimah.
And here is how her Wahabi mate SomalisiZ responds;
"Asalam Calaikom Sis === > Hizb ut-tahreer- It is a party founded by Taqiyyud-deen an Nabhaanee. As for this party - then we have a number of observations to make about it:
That they do not accept "Khabarul-Aahaad" in 'Aqeedah and this has caused them to separate from Ahlus-Sunnah in 'Aqeedah since accepting the ahaadeeth is an important principle - so they do not accept the Messengers (s.a.w.s) sayings in points of 'Aqeedah. So they do not believe for example, in The Punishment in the grave, they do not believe in The Dajjaal and they do not believe in the descent of the Maseh - and they do not believe in many things which are mentioned in ahaadeeth. And this is of course, something futile since authentic aahaad Ahaadeeth which are those reported by good / reliable, precise narrators from the first to the last of them - not contradicting something more reliable - and not contain hidden weakness and the ahaadeeth which fulfill these five conditions amounts to knowledge whereas they say that it amounts only to conjecture (zann) - and the reply to them in detail is to be found in my book: "al-adillah wash-Shawaahid fee wujoob al-Akhdh bikhabral-waahid fil Ahkaam wal 'Aqaaid",
Also this party has various peculiar opinions - so for example they allow nude photographs, they allow one to look at photographs and this contains great danger due to a Sharee'ah point .. They reject so many other important critical things in Islam that is from Quran and Sunnah ..
Again Proud Muslimah responds;
“Subhan'Allah I have never heard of them...Jazakum'Allahu Kairan sister
Subhan'Allah, we should be very careful on where we go to (such as Islamic organisations, websites...etc) when it comes to getting education on our deen!
Assalamu Alaikum, Jazakum'Allahu Kairan bro The link is working. I will pass the link around to people I know so that they become aware of this group Insh'Allah."
http://www.somalinet.com/forum/viewtopi ... ht=#457624I met Hizbul Tahriir spokesman in Australia some time ago, they are highly young idealistic Muslims seeking a genuine solidarity among Muslims, and man, they can think for their own and articulate their point better than those indoctrinated parrotic Wahabis. Most of the followers of this movement come from Central Asia, and not from Najd in Saudi Arabia like Abdiwahaab. The point is, while the Wahabi people demand that all Muslims to unite only under their banner, a wahabi Caliphate will never happen.
