Through extensive surveys with Muslims across the UK , IHRC set out to give voice to the expectations of Muslims and articulate them to the British government. This project hopes to bring about a truly open and beneficial discussion aimed at changing policies and perceptions of a much maligned community whose diversity and sophistication is being ignored and condemned in an alarming and dangerous manner.

Reports are already available on citizenship, discrimination, schools and hijab. Further reports on university life, the media and Muslim contribution to British society are soon to follow.

The Islamophobia Awards is an annual event to acknowledge - through satire, revue and comedy - the worst Islamophobes of the year.

Centred around a gala dinner, the 'awards' themselves are both entertaining and raise awareness of a serious and growing prejudice. Real awards are given to those who have battled against Islamophobia - often against enormous odds.

June 2005 - This was an open and robust one day conference discussing the role of faith in liberation struggles. Religion is often portrayed as a hindrance to peace and not as a methodology for liberation. This conference discussed the role religion plays in the lives of peoples' struggling for justice, looking at other liberation struggles as well as Palestine.

The entire conference video, the question & answer sessions and a photo album are available online.
