The government may rue its ban on the non-violent group Hizb ut-Tahir

Since Tony Blair's announcement last month that the Islamist
organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir would be banned, the threat of proscription
has been hanging over not just the group but the whole question of how
much free speech our embittered society can now tolerate. The
publication of the draft terrorism bill last week spelled out that a
group might face proscription not just if its members were involved in
terrorism, but even if the organisation was "associated" with
statements glorifying terrorism. It is with such sweeping powers that
the government apparently intends to send Hizb ut-Tahrir underground.
