Source: “An American Hizb Ut-Tahrir Leader Exhorts Muslims to Refrain from Voting in U.S. Elections, Says: Islam Is Here to Dominate,” MEMRI, 2016: h/t Jihad Watch
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 kufr system is forbidden.
[paragraph below transcribed by CS]
Tell them to choose this kuffar over that kuffar. Or this kaffir over another kaffir. Is this what we have succumbed to? Choosing Sanders over Trump? What about Islam? Is that not a choice? … As Muslims you need to stand as carriers of an alternative way of life. An alternative political system[Islam / sharia]. For Muslims in the West this is not about the lesser of evils…this isn’t about Sanders versus Trump. This is about Islam versus Capitalism.
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.
