Islam4UK was a radical Islamist group that operated in the United Kingdom.

Islam4UK described itself as having “been established by sincere Muslims as a platform to propagate the supreme Islamic ideology within the United Kingdom as a divine alternative to man-made law” to “convince the British public about the superiority of Islam, thereby changing public opinion in favour of Islam in order to transfer the authority and power to the Muslims in order to implement the Sharia (in Britain)”.

On 16 October 2009, members of the organisation protested against the visit to Britain by Dutch MP Geert Wilders. They carried banners with slogans such as “Shariah is the solution, freedom go to hell” and “Geert Wilders deserves Islamic punishment”.

When designated, Islam4UK issued a statement saying, “Today’s ban is another nail in the coffin of capitalism and another sign of the revival of Islam and Muslims.” They restated their goal: “Therefore, we will one day liberate our land from occupation and implement the Shariah not just in Muslim countries but also right here in Great Britain. This is something that we believe in, live by and hope that in our lifetime we will witness”.

In a further statement, issued on the same day via their website, they stated that “Islam4UK has been contacted by authorities to (force) shut down its operations, we stress this domain name will no longer be used by us, but the struggle for Khilafah (aka “the Caliphate”) will continue regardless of what the disbelievers plot against the Muslims. It is the duty of all Muslims to rise up and call for the Khilafah wherever they may be”.
