The Quilliam Foundation is not independent! It is to all intents and purposes part of the Home Office, and everyone who works for it is a de facto civil servant. All of its funding comes from the government – the majority of that being from part of the Home Office called the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism, an intelligence agency!

Spittoon or s*ittoon as it is commonly called by Muslims in the UK was well exposed here:

http://neoconeurope.eu/The_Spittoon

they are brown lackeys (as well as 1 Israeli) who were/are recruited by a wing of British neo-conservatives to attack and defame any and all Muslims — Tablighi, Sufi, Jamaati, Jihadi, Ikhwan, Salafi, Hizb, traditional, conservative, or in between — irregardless of political or philosophical persuasion. The litmus test for “acceptable” “moderate” Muslims is spelled out in a draft of document (Contest 2) leaked to the Guardian here:

If you fail to accept the above you WILL be spied on by the govt, as “Ed” Hussain advocates here:

“Spying Morally Right” Says Thinktank

the right wing nut Frank Gaffney recently had on one of the directors, Houriyah Ahmed, on his show to speak about a report on HT as well as support his thesis on a “Muslim Mafia” in America:

Really. That’s interesting because Thabet – same guy who pillories Quilliam – recommended Spittoon as a reliable independent critic of Hizb ut-Tahrir. I wouldn’t know it existed if he hadn’t posted and linked with the rec here.

Recently, Sir Edward Husain defended the UK secret service policy of spying on and collecting data about innocent British Muslims with no links to terror. Data collected apparently includes information about individuals’ sexual behaviour. Human Rights groups, and most other Muslim groups, lambasted this policy. It’s not just me that holds Ed in contempt. It’s pretty much everyone except for the usual suspects – but then again, even Mad Mel all but accused him of fibbing. Even the choice of the groups name was dumb – they paraded Quilliam as the first great British moderate Muslim, when in fact Quilliam’s views had for more in common with today’s “Islamists” than with Ed’s ninny foundation.

This “Quilliam Foundation” along with its online blog “Spittoon” is purely a British govt. / MI5 production. Over a year ago near its hyped up launch, some commentators in the British press stated as much here:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/apr/21/allmodcons

its job is to whitewash the British govt. of any responsibility of contributing to terrorism either via discrimination ot its own Muslim citizens (“too many brown people are allowed into the UK” as Ed Husain says) or of its foreign policy (Shiraz Maher and Maajid Nawaz both supported the Israeli bombardment of Gaza against “terrorist sympathizers” and Ed Hussain is on record as having supported Bush/Blair invasion of Iraq).

They are people who have sold their deen for money:

and should be shunned and ignored by Muslims as they are simply a state apparatus not any independent body in any way.
