Statement On Recent Media Slurs

The recent media coverage concerning the Islamic Forum of Europe is grossly inaccurate and, in a number of respects, libellous. Needless to say we are considering our position (including with our lawyers). In the meantime, we cannot allow these false slurs to go unchallenged.

The IFE is not a "radical" organisation and has never advocated the implementation of Shariah law or an Islamic State in the UK.

Further, the IFE categorically condemns violent extremism.

The IFE encourages its members and the wider Muslim community to engage in the democratic process and to participate fully in society, as it is their right to do.

The suggestion that there is anything sinister about this engagement with normal democratic processes, or that the IFE is bent on political 'infiltration' is untrue, inflammatory and socially divisive.

	The Pilgrimage To Makkah

	Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
