Australia: Members of Hizb-ut-Tahrir say country is “god-forsaken,” and that Muslims must shun “secular and erroneous concepts such as democracy and freedom”

The irresistible question: If it’s so “god-forsaken,” why don’t you forsake it, too? Of course, it’s not that simple. The goal of jihad in all its forms is the imposition of Islamic law anywhere and everywhere. And that’s supposed to make Australia seem less god-forsaken — just as it has…
