Currently, many Muslims are unable to go to university because their faith prohibits them from taking interest based finance to fund university tuition fees. Given Islam strictly prohibits both the paying and receiving of interest, many Muslim students face a conflict between funding their university course through taking a government backed interest-bearing loan and practicing their faith. As a result, thousands choose to forgo the massive benefits a university education offers. Denying these principled young people access to university denies them equality of opportunity, which has got to be a cornerstone of our democratic, pluralist society. The current state…
As a website whose remit is to articulate and defend mainstream, orthodox Islam, Islam21c routinely seeks to correct lies, distortions and false propaganda against mainstream Islam and Muslims. Fanatics from anti-Muslim organisations have sought to make life very difficult for countless everyday innocent, law-abiding Muslim Britons for years. They have done this by campaigning for restrictions of their civil liberties (such as what clothes Muslims choose to wear, or what they teach their children), or inciting hatred against Islamic organisations in the media and the authorities. This is why we have taken objection to the latest campaign of ideological…
The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain (CEMB) published its latest report Evangelising Hate: Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA). The report’s authors, Al Razi, Maryam Namazie, and Ahmed Idris, believe that iERA, a registered charity in the UK, works for the “International Islamist movement”, and aims to enslave the world to “theocratic norms”. The authors are neither junkies nor fans of Alex Jones. They are intellectuals warning us of danger. It is hard to take them seriously. The report has a five-page introduction, a one-page conclusion, and thirty-one pages clogged with quotes from YouTube and Twitter. The page numbers in…

The Muslim community in Britain and elsewhere expresses its deepest concern with the shocking news from Prague, and offers its support, sympathy and solidarity to the Muslim community in Czech Republic after police raids of their mosques during the main Friday prayers on the 25th of April 2014 . Background Mosques were raided by armed police during the only time in the week that the mosques are guaranteed to be full. It has been reported that the armed officers forced the civilian congregation to remain seated for several hours, causing them to miss their obligatory prayers altogether, under threats of being…
To Allāh we belong and to Him we return. The Muslim Research and Development Foundation and the Islam21c team would like to offer their sincere condolences to the family of Humayun Begg, who passed away last night. He was a well-known member of the Muslim community in the Forest Hill area of London, and among is children is our very own Imām, Shakeel Begg. We optimistically beseech Allāh to forgive all of his sins and make his grave from among the gardens of Paradise, and make his children an unending source of reward for him. We are reminded that Abū…
Asim Qureshi, a long time friend and guest author to Islam21c and currently the Research Director of CAGE UK appeared on BBC News yesterday to speak about the UK Government & British police's latest terrorising scheme of asking Muslim women to dissuade their sons and relatives from going to fight in Syria, or else risk criminalisation. A huge amount of effort and resource is being directed (by the Government & Media) into creating a false belief in minds of the British public and Muslim community that any Muslim considering to travel to Syria to fight should be viewed as a…
