Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)

After Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) reported
on June 28 about the cancellation of the Hizb ut-Tahrir America
conference at the Oak Brook Marriott - on




Thursday night, June 30, Hizb ut-Tahrir notified its supporters,
stating:

"Due to unavoidable circumstances, the date and the venue of the
Khilafah Conference are being changed. We are currently in the final
stages of finalizing the new date and venue. Given the significance of
the fall of the Khilafah on 28 Rajab, 1342 Hijri, it is very important
that the Khilafah Conference take place in Rajab or around it. The new
date of the Khilafah Conference will be either Sunday, July 18, 2010 or
Sunday, July 25, 2010. Please keep visiting http://www.hizb-america.org/
for
more details on the new date and venue of the Khilafah Conference. We
will also provide more details on the circumstances leading to the
change in date and venue."

Hizb ut-Tahrir America also states that it will update its Facebook




web page for the event "Khilafah Conference (USA) 2010- EMERGING WORLD
ORDER." On the previous




Facebook "event listing" for this conference, HT showed that there were
over 460 individuals planning to attend.

Human
rights activists had been informing Chicago area hotels of Hizb
ut-Tahrir America's decision last year to distribute
pamphlets
calling for the "death penalty" for those who seek freedom of religion
to leave Islam. At Hizb ut-Tahrir America’s July 19, 2009 event in
Chicago, they distributed a pamphlet




(page 62) that supports killing
those individuals who leave Islam as
guilty of "treason and a political attack on the Khilafah."
The Hizb
ut-Tahrir America
website promoting this year's conference in Chicago promotes links
to the main Hizb ut-Tahrir website, Khilafah.com, where this pamphlet
is still distributed online by Hizb ut-Tahrir.

At the December




2009 event at the Lombard community center, Hizb ut-Tahrir America
denounced democracy, denounced "the Kafir," and urged Muslim attendees
"do not take the Jews and Christians for your allies." HT also blamed
U.S. President Obama as part of a plot to take over Muslim-majority
nations. Hizb ut-Tahrir rejects

democracy because it "is the rule of people, for the people, by the
people." (page 24) Hizb ut-Tahrir has called




for Muslims to boycott voting.

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) continues to

challenge Hizb ut-Tahrir's leadership to debate us before the American
people, a challenge

that we extended on June 18. R.E.A.L. has not received a reply from
Hizb ut-Tahrir. R.E.A.L. will continue with our event on
July 11 at 2
PM at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool steps.

We urge all Americans, especially
Muslim Americans,
to join us
in our nation's
capital on July 11, 2010 (the original date of the Hizb ut-Tahrir)
conference to send a message to those who seek to attack democracy and
freedom, that we will stand united for such freedoms together - as one
nation, one people, - responsible for equality and
liberty - for all.

We urge other Muslims and all others in America who also share our
commitment for such freedoms, especially




for our shared freedoms and democracy to contact Responsible for
Equality And
Liberty via email at info@realcourage.org .
