are produced for global distribution, although Britain is not a Vilaya or "province" in the HT organization. According to Abdul Qadeem Zallum, HT global leader from 1977 to 2003, Britain is also the land of the "arch enemies of Islam", who Muslims should "harbour hatred for" and "a yearning for revenge over". In 2005, the Home Office of the English government described HTB as "radical, but to date non-violent Islamist group" that "holds anti-Jewish, anti-western and homophobic views". In 2007, HTB "dominate[d]" the Islamist "scene" in Britain with an estimated 8,500 members, but has declined in size and as of 2015 has been described as "less influential". As of mid-2015 Abdul Wahid was the leader of HT Britain, and the party was reportedly funded by private donations and membership revenue. Although HTB has been threatened with proscription by the government twice—in the immediate aftermath of the 7/7 bombings by the government, and during the 2010 General Election by the Conservative Party – and with blacklisting from airwaves and universities in another 2015 Tory plan – as of 2016 it remains legal in Britain. Public campaigns by HT in Britain include ‘Stand for Islam’—created "in response" to alleged ‘relentless attacks on the Islamic laws, values and beliefs’ and in opposition to government counter-terrorism measures and counter-radicalisation programmes, and SREIslamic—a campaign against elements of the sex and relationship education (SRE) curriculum in primary schools. The party has described itself as "focused on directing Muslims to make a positive contribution to society whilst preserving their Islamic identity". As in other countries, HT preaches that re-establishing the caliphate is a religious obligation of Muslims, that Western countries are waging war against Islam, and that patriotic feeling for or assimilation into, a non-Muslim country/society, is forbidden in Islam. In a promotional video a group representative says: I think Muslims in this country need to take a long, hard look at themselves and decide what is their identity. Are they British or are they Muslim? I am a Muslim. Where I live, is irrelevant. Among non-Muslims the party works to articulate the cause of the Muslim world, including the Khilafah state, (what HT believes is) the political and intellectual system of Islam. However, critics such as Houriya Ahmed and Hannah Stuart complain that HT Britain is engaged in an effort to "soften" its image and "hide its support" for violent jihad, anti-Jewish sentiment and totalitarianism using
