Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK (MPACUK) has been in the UK political scene for 17 years, with a strong record of successful campaigns in defending Muslim civil liberties and tackling Islamophobia in the media.

We are fundraising for the next phase of building the "Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre"– a dedicated space to systematically challenging Islamophobic discrimination and narratives through campaigns, research, workshops, and educating our communities to do the same.

Our Update: The Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre

Last Ramadan we launched the Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre. Many of you helped reach our target and because of that we layed down the foundations. Because of your donations, we able to:

1. Conduct 45 media interviews and public talks on SKY, BBC, Islam Channel, local Muslim channels and in the community

2. Achieve numerous campaign successes

3. Produce 36 videos on Islamic history and current political commentary reaching hundreds of millions around the world

4. Launch national workshops, educating Muslims to pro-actively challenge anti-Muslim propaganda across the UK

5. Operation Muslim Vote 2017 - Removed 3 pro-war/Islamophobic MPs from power

This year, we will be taking it to the next level, by mobilising thousands of people around our existing infrastructure which we will upgrade to be more efficient and data-driven. 

How Would The Anti-Islamophobia Nerve Centre Work?

The Nerve Centre is a centralised place where anti-Islamophobia activity is managed and directed. Imagine these scenarios:

1. The Prime Minister calls an election. There are a number of MPs across the UK who are pro-war or have anti-Muslim stances and can be kicked out of Parliament

2. A senior politician slanders a well-known Muslim leader/activist on national TV

3. Mainstream media fails to cover a serious incident of Islamophobia, there by refusing to show the harsh reality that Muslims face

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, campaigns, mobilising 10,000 Muslims across the UK and take part in social media storms that would push them onto the back foot and make them accountable to us.

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 battle against Islamophobic propaganda, this Nerve Centre will be the key tool.

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)

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 backbone of the Islamophobia Industry. But we're fighting back and starting to win.

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

MPACUK's General Election 2017 Campaign Success!

With our solid research and experience, the MPACUK team, have been hitting the streets, knocking on doors and talking to Muslims in key marginal seats. Thanks to Allah, we successfully removed the following 3 pro-war/Islamophobic MPs from power:

- Amanda Solloway - Derby North
- Gavin Barwell - Croydon Central
- Kris Hopkins - Keighley

In addition, we have made the FIRST ever national-wide constituency-based map by a Muslim organisation, detailing the ethical record of every MP in the UK. 

Next election, we want to play an even bigger game. Help us fund that effort.

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.

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.
