British Ambassador to Indonesia, Mr. Moazzem Malik, visited The Foundation on 18th November. He was welcomed by Dr. Manazir Ahsan, Chairman of The Foundation along with Farooq Murad, Director General. After a brief tour he held a roundtable discussion with the trustees and the staff, exploring ideas with regards to fostering better understanding across faiths and communities.

We are shocked by the violence and loss of life in our neighbouring country, France. We at The Islamic Foundation UK strongly condemn these heinous acts which in no way embody the spirit of Islam. We send our sympathy and sincerest condolences to families of those who have been affected.

The Islamic Foundation strongly condemns the brutal killing of tourists in Sousse, Tunisia, many of whom from were Britain. There can be no justification in Islam for such a heinous crime. These innocent victims were given promise of safety and protection by the government and Muslims of Tunisia to spend their holiday. Their protection is an Islamic duty.

The Mayflower Club at the Markfield Community Centre arranged a visit on 13th May to introduce the older members of the local community to the work of the Foundation and to address any questions they had about Islam.

This ground-breaking event set out to provide a platform from which Muslim women could themselves debate problems and seek solutions through narrative ownership that would reflect the concerns and aspirations of Muslim women more fairly and accurately.

It is extremely saddening to see the various acts of violence and extremism we have recently witnessed. Whether the victims of these acts have been Muslims, as in the case of Chapel Hill in America, or members of other religious or cultural backgrounds, as in the case of the synagogue and free speech event in Copenhagen, we condemn such atrocities wholeheartedly.
