Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK (MPACUK) has been in the UK political scene for 16 years, with a strong record of successful campaigns in defending Muslim civil liberties and Islamophobia in the media.

Now, we are fundraising for an "Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre" - a dedicated space to systematically tackle Islamophobic discrimination and narratives through campaigns, research and workshops, and educating our communities to do the same.

Our Solution: How Would An ‘Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre’ Work?

A "Nerve Centre" is a centralised place where activity and organised action is managed. 

Imagine this scenario: the British Prime Minister slanders Shaykh Sulaiman Ghani, a well-known Muslim leader, on national television in front of Parliament.

A group of media-savvy, experienced campaigners - who have been keeping a constant eye on the day’s news activate: they unleash Press Releases, Action Alerts, and take part in social media storms that would push the Prime Minister onto the back foot and force him to apologise.

But why should we only react to the news?

Islamic history is full of examples of Muslims standing up for their rights and tackling injustices - and in this war against Islamophobic propaganda, this Nerve Centre will be the key tool in speaking truth to tyrants.

A man asked the Prophet (SAW), “What is the best jihad?” The Prophet said, “A word of truth in front of a tyrannical ruler.” (Source: Musnad Aḥmad 18449)

“We sent Our messengers with clear signs, the Scripture and the Balance, so that people could uphold JUSTICE” (Surah Al-Hadid: 25)

A war against propaganda is all about “Narratives”: joining the dots until you create a picture of an oppressor or the oppressed.

There is no doubt that the propaganda portraying Muslims as oppressors is winning. It's the source of their success. Breaking this will break the the backbone of the Islamophobia Industry. But we're fighting back and starting to win.

Our fight is about taking back control of our narrative, of our story - whether it’s by researching and publishing the achievements of the Muslim community, or exposing colonialism past and present, or training future leaders and Imams - and our Nerve Centre will be key in all of this.

MPACUK And The Defence of Equality And Civil Rights


In our 16 year history we have been at the forefront of defending Muslims’ civil liberties in the UK.



We have led numerous successful campaigns in lobbying politicians. 

From getting bigoted journalists sacked - such as Robert Kilroy Silk - from national platforms like the BBC, to taking on the insidious Prevent strategy, we've been at the forefront of defending our community's rights.

In the 2010 election, we successfully got rid of many pro-War MPs, an achievement unmatched by any other Muslim political organisation in Europe.

And when we’re not knocking journalists & politicians off their perches, we’re holding leaders to account and demanding equal treatment. Just check out our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages.
