When being asked to clarify whether Hizb ut-Tahrir condemns the Charlie Hebdo shooting or believed it was a justified response to the insulting of Allah and Muslims, Qureshi, from the organisation's media office, said: "To reduce the issue to a simple dichotomy of either support or condemnation is superficial and unproductive. What is imperative to consider is the broader political context that has led to and follows the incident, which is the crux of the statement."
