  • Dilpazier Aslam (born 1978) is a former trainee journalist with The Guardian. He came to public attention in July 2005 when he lost his position with the newspaper after being named as a member of the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir. The Guardian was alerted to Aslam's membership of the group by bloggers who read Aslam's article in the newspaper about the July 7 London bombings. Entitled "We Rock the Boat," the article discussed the attitudes of young British Muslims, but without mentioning the writer's membership of an Islamist group. The newspaper subsequently found an article on Hizb ut-Tahrir's website, Khalifah.com, that appeared to be an "incitement of violence against Jews," according to the newspaper. Before joining The Guardian, Aslam had written three articles for Khilafah.com, and was once called its Middle Eastern correspondent. Aslam told Alan Rusbridger, The Guardian's editor, that he personally rejected anti-Semitism but was not willing to leave Hizb ut-Tahrir and did not consider its website to be anti-Semitic. Rusbridger and other executives decided that membership of Hizb ut-Tahrir was not compatible with membership of the newspaper's trainee scheme.
