This week a local leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir gave a provocative speech against United Nations in Takhar, Afghanistan. He said that UN is a tool to perpetuate power of colonial states and Muslims should chant "Death to UN" just like they do for U.S.
"The United Nations, or the mother organization of international institutions raised in the West, is an institution whose pillars and principles are built on the basis of Western secular ideology and values."
He said:
"The UN has been established by WWII winners, serving as the bridge of communications and spokesperson of powers such as the U.S., the organization's main goal is to preserve great Western powers. The existence of this organization has no benefit to Islamic lands."
