Supporters of Hizb ut Tahrir Britain gathered at Marble Arch on Saturday for a march to the Saudi Embassy in Mayfair to show their opposition to George Bush's Middle East tour and American policies in the region as well as against the current corrupt ruling elites in the area supported by the West. Hizb ut Tahrir believes that the region can only truly be stable through the formation of a new Islamic Khilafah (Caliphate) for the region, which will bring both peace and harmony to the area with "Jews, Christians and Muslims and peoples of other religions" able to "live together in peace and dignity as they did in the Khilafah of the past." Around 500 marched, the women as a group behind the men. There was a strong police presence.
