A FIERY sermon by the Australian spokesman for radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir has given rise to fresh concerns about the group's Islamist agenda.
Sheik Ismail al-Wahwah offered a particularly stark vision of life in Australia were the group to succeed in its objective of establishing an Islamic state, or caliphate, governed by Islamic law.
Speaking on Christmas Eve, he said an Islamic regime in Australia would ban alcohol, enforce a strict Islamic dress code, prohibit the teaching in schools of all foreign languages except Arabic, ban money-lenders from charging interest and force the courts to implement sharia law.
"Fornication, whatever, that will all stop," Sheik al-Wahwah said. "On the streets, there will be only the sharia dress code. Anyone, Muslim or non-Muslims . . . A Muslim street has to be like that. The sharia will be implemented from day one."
Sheik al-Wahwah also strayed close to advocating the use of violence in achieving his group's vision of a new caliphate, saying it was the duty of the caliphate to "carry the light of Islam to the rest of the world".
"How? Not with flowers. It was the army of Muslims which started from Medina, and they went to China, India and the Maghreb. That is jihad."
Hizb ut-Tahrir, established in 1953, has been banned in several countries because of its extremist positions but has never been proscribed in Australia. Nevertheless, its radical agenda is a source of constant concern to the police and ASIO.
Australian National University terrorism expert Clive Williams said while the group posed a potential threat in Muslim countries, where it could influence large swaths of the population, in Australia it was of little concern. "ASIO wasn't keen to proscribe them because once you do that it's much harder to monitor them," he said.
