The extreme Islamist sect Hizb ut Tahrir al Islami, which has a fast-dwindling, part-time following of fake jihadis in the United Kingdom, as well as other cells across Europe, has sought to stem the tide of leavers doing so much damage to its international coffers.

Under pressure from its foreign leadership, Hizb ut Tahrir al Islami's British executive, headed by fantasist and wannabe Bangladeshi president Dr Nasim Ghani (known as "Patrick" to aid professional ascent in his capitalist day job) has been wielding the axe. In the true tradition of Islamist hierarchy and caliphate, he blames the pitiful state of the sect (image and numbers) in Britain on his lieutenants rather than taking the rap himself. 

Hizb ut Tahrir al Islami has become the current big joke in Islamist circles in Britain, even usurping its former leader Omar Bakri's ragtag band of benefits cheats and gullible members of society. Even hothead elements of British Muslim society have turned against them and are filled with rage at what they see as the sect's tarnishing of British Islam:

In one forum, on the 29th April this year, an Islamist commentator by the name of "Saracen" remarks on Hizb ut Tahrir al Islami, "It makes me sick to the back teeth that Muslims (HT) swan around with 'We are the victim attitude - everyone is against us. Yes, there is a hell a lot of Islamophobia out there, and that needs to be countered...........but when are we going to kick these goons up their backsides?? I mean complete isolation, condemnation, confrontation, exposition, challenging, laying the cards on the table - all out gloves-off scenario???? Why do we let them wander in our midst giving leaflets, attacking legitimate groups? Brainwashing youngsters, hijacking mosques, disrupting events, getting on the media, distorting the image of Islam and Muslims????" Saracen's tirade continues, "They need banning from Muslims places, injunctions taken out, police called, and public statements. Forget the softly, softly approach - it doesn't work. We need to confront these punks and tell them to stop leeching off us for their own egotistic pathetic meaningless failed miserable lives that they try to find meaning in by being extremists."

Gordon Brown dutifully announced that the world "cannot afford to fail" to deal with the food shortages ravaging many poor countries, which raises the question of how well has our own government responded to this crisis.  High oil prices have led to higher fuel costs, which hits farmers around the globe and inhibits the transport of food.  Has Gordon Brown done anything to reduce oil prices?  His recent conversation with North Sea oil companies may have given the impression that he is making an effort to improve the situation, but in reality nobody is.  Neither Gordon Brown nor any other world leader can bring down oil prices thanks to the OPEC cartel, despite what he would like you to believe.
