The 4th of July symbolizes the many freedoms we enjoy in America. It's a day millions of Americans proudly display the American flag on their home to help celebrate what makes our country the best place in the world to live.
But, there are organizations in America that do not share this view. For example, the Islamic Society of North America usually picks this weekend for their annual conference rather than stay at home to celebrate this holiday with their neighbors. ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding trial because of their relationship to or with the Muslim Brotherhood. Board member, Jamal Badawi, is a Muslim Brotherhood leader who approves of martyrdom, if that helps.
Another example is Hizb ut-Tahrir. This is an Islamist organization which has emerged fully in the United States since the election of President Barack Obama. Under President Bush, they operated primarily in the shadows and behind closed doors covertly.
July 19th is the day HT plans to have their first Khilafah Conference in Oak Lawn, Illinois! It encapsulates the full capacity of the literal interpretation of the Quran. Their slick ominous video titled "Fall of Capitalism and Rise of Islam" advertises their conference (see video below). The goal of this global Islamist organization is to restore an Islamic State. On their American website they claim their goal in America is to only spread the message of Islam and do not seek to overthrow the government. Do not believe them. Khilafah means Islamic rule and Islamic supremacy and is in the title of their 1st American conference.
A local Islamic school, Agsa School, in Bridgeview, Illinois was to host the conference in their facility but backed out according to CBS News. HT website now states they still plan to go ahead with their anti-American, anti-capitalism, Islamic supremacy conference but at the Hilton Oak Lawn hotel, instead.
This group is banned in Pakistan yet now operates openly in the U.S.!Seriously, this conference should be stopped.
Action: Please call and ask to speak to the manager at the Hilton to express your concern that an extremist Islamic organization plans to hold their conference at their hotel in their hotel on the 19th of July from 11 to 5.

"...HTA's presence in the United States was not limited to the two coasts. Some of HTA's most influential members are in the Midwest, including Palestinian-Jordanian Mohammed Malkawi (also known as Abu Talha), formerly a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, and Muslim convert Jaleel Abdul-Adil, currently a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Abdul-Adil is perhaps the most charismatic of the identified members of HTA. He has spoken at major HT conferences in Britain, and was featured in a July 2007 video produced by members of HT Britain to promote their 2007 Khilafah Conference, making Abdul-Adil the first representative of HTA to be publicly identified as such [10].

Amazing what Americans will allow in the name of freedom of speech and expression. This is a slow poison and needs to be rooted out from US system. Otherwise these parasitic organizations live off the good till they become strong enough and overwhelm its hosts.
