Haitham Ibn Thbait, of the American chapter of Hizb Ut-Tahrir, recently exhorted American Muslims to avoid falling into the "electoral trap" and called upon them not to vote in the U.S. elections, saying that getting Muslims to vote was part of an effort to assimilate them and that they had been "tricked" into voting for Clinton, Bush, and Obama in the past. Speaking at the Khilafah 2016 conference, held in Chicago on May 15, Ibn Thbait further called Obama a "terrorist" and said that "Islam is here to dominate." The address was posted on YouTube by Hizb Ut-Tahrir on May 20.
Following are excerpts:
Haitham Ibn Thbait: "The
Prophet said: 'There is no god but Allah.' Instead the [elites of Mecca]
rejected. They offered the Prophet wealth, status, and political
representation - a seat on the executive branch within Mecca's secular
order - all to avoid this statement and its implications. Yet he
rejected their offers and continued his journey towards radical change,
providing us with step-by-step instructions on how to make this religion
supreme.
[…]
"The elites
of Mecca would use every possible measure to coerce or contain
Muhammad's call for change within specific parameters. Those parameters
would permit the changing of anything that did not threaten their system
and infringe on their power. But this message is not here to integrate.
It is here to dominate. Islam is here to dominate! This was an
ideological struggle, the sole purpose of which was to organize Man's
affairs in accordance with a system revealed by Allah."

Haitham Ibn Thbait:
"There was no room for compromise. Instead Allah revealed to the
Prophet, saying: 'Proclaim openly, as commanded, and turn away from
those who associate others with Allah.' 'Proclaim openly, as commanded
by Allah' - this is our activism. It is free of polytheism, the
polytheism of a secular system. Activism within a flawed infidel system
is forbidden.
[…]
"You cannot
raise your hands to Allah, while extending your hands to men for
legislation. Every four years, you do just that. Muslims are pressured
to get out there and vote, believing somehow that their insignificant
numbers have an impact. The effort to get Muslims out there to vote has
never been about their significance. It is part of an effort to
assimilate Muslims.
"They have
tricked Muslims into voting for Clinton, who went on to starve half a
million children in Iraq to death. They tricked Muslims into voting for
Bush, who went on to bomb two Muslim countries and kill millions. And
they went on to trick Muslims to vote for Obama, who bombed seven Muslim
countries and killed millions.
"The argument
used was always the 'lesser of evils.' So now, killing millions of
Muslims is a 'lesser evil.' 'What is the matter with you? How do you
judge?' [Quran 68:36] The ballots have brought you nothing but disgrace,
and have soaked you with the blood of your Muslim brothers and sisters.
The problem with their system is not the scores of dead. It is deeper
than that. It is their secular faith. It is in direct opposition with
our creed, when Allah says: 'Legislation belongs to none other than
Allah.'
"Muhammad and
his companions established for us a political system where sovereignty
belongs to Allah and not to the elites, where politics meant caring for
the affairs of Mankind, not only the elites, where da'wa was
conveyed to the whole of society, not only to the oppressed and
excluding the elites. This system was not for the 99% or the 1%. This
system was for the 100%. For those of us in the West, Allah granted us
the opportunity to be amidst a people so misinformed that the truth we
offer will resonate. Our voice is our greatest weapon, and our silence
is our worst enemy.
[…]
"We have seen
Obama in Cairo, and later in Baltimore, reinforcing what type of Islam
is acceptable. Brothers and sisters, Obama is not an Islamic reference.
He is a terrorist. He represents a system of terrorism. How dare we
allow him to teach us what Islam is?

[…]
"They want to entice you and intimidate you into embracing their
way of life. They want to change our Islam We are not their puppets. We
are a cure and a mercy. We carry a comprehensive system of solutions for
Mankind, and we should act accordingly. Muslims in the West are a part
of this struggle. We should not underestimate our impact in this global
effort. We need to be honest about who we are, what our global program
is, and advocate for the system of Islam, wherever we may be, and
explain it to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Don't fall into the
electoral trap.
