Threaten nationwide-rebellions to establish Islamic State

From Google News (AFP) "Islamist party wants to establish Sharia law in Tunisia":

An Islamist party in Tunisia said Thursday it wants to install "by political means" a regime based on the strict Sharia form of Islamic law in the north African country.

"We are working to install a regime founded on Sharia," said Ridha Belhaj, a spokesman for the party Hizb At-Tahrir.

The party claims that "Islam is the solution" to problems in Tunisia after the ouster of longtime strongman Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January following a popular uprising... the party does not rule out "rebellion or civil disobedience in order to establish an Islamic state," Belhaj added.

"In Islam, the nation has the right to overthrow its leaders, even by armed force," he said

He has also said if the Islamists are successful in winning power they would ban other parties.
