Challenges & Realities

The situation of Muslims is one of the most pressing issues facing British Society at present. A huge rise in the number of attacks on Muslims in Britain, increasing threats to civil liberties in the name of security measures, a resurgence in the activities of far-right in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, the marked increase in Islamophobia and intolerance of everything Islamic including minarets and hijab, all pose serious questions over Britain's commitment to one of its largest religious minorities. Mr Farooq Murad, newly elected Secretary General of one of the biggest Muslim bodies in Britain will present his vision to tackle the challenges that Muslims face in Britain; present and future.
