Editor: 'Hizb ut-Tahrir Should be Marginalised But Not Banned'

Sunny Hundal, editor of Asians in Media, made this observation about British Prime Minister Tony Blair's August 5, 2005 announcement that Hizb ut-Tahrir of Britain was one of the groups he intends to proscribe:

This is so annoying - last week I was condemning Hizb ut-Tahrir, now I'm forced to defend them with the government ban. Today's announcement has exposed serious flaws in the way Labour deals with Muslim and non-Muslim groups.
"I am no fan of HT as it has always been clear on these pages," the editor added, "but there needs to be a sense of perspective and equal rights for everyone."
