Hizb ut-Tahrir CANCELS Khilafah Conference following backlash
The theme of the conference was "eliminating the obstacles that are delaying [the] return" of an Islamic caliphate.
When people got wind of its existence, backlash ensued. Countless X users pressured public officials in Mississauga and Hamilton — two potential locations — and the Hizb ut-Tahrir itself. The mayors of both towns released statements condemning the group, and the government of Canada followed suit a short time later.
