As we have all welcomed the sacred month of Ramadan, we are very much aware of the political climate facing British Muslims today.

In the wake of the Government's new definition of extremism and attempt to 'cancel' Muslim community groups like the MCB out of public life, our leadership team have been leading the challenge for communities up and down the country.
 

It has been a challenging start to the blessed month, as we have worked on the front line to defend British Muslim communities.
