Excerpt:
Hizb ut-Tahrir, which urged Australian Muslims to boycott democracy in "this godforsaken country", is to hold study sessions in Sydney .
The sessions, to coach its followers in how to achieve their goal of an international Islamic state, will be part of an "intensive workshop" planned for this weekend in Bankstown, southwestern Sydney, and follow a convention attended by hundreds of Islamic activists last Sunday.
"The call for Khilafah (the Islamic state) is now echoing from all parts of the Muslim world," the Australian branch of the party claims in promotional material for the workshop, where topics will include Islamic political and economic theory and the steps needed to implement sharia law.
