News & Updates

The Islamic Society of Britain is aware of an article in the Middle East Eye which discloses the formation of a possible Muslim Leadership Council. Whilst we have not been consulted or involved in any capacity in the formation of this Council, we await further details and information before drawing any definitive conclusions. We would urge any such Council to consult widely and to work alongside existing organisations, such as the Muslim Council of Britain.

United Against Hate

The Islamic Society of Britain (ISB) and its Campus youth wing offer heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of young Bebe, Elsie and Alice who lost their lives in the most horrific and tragic of circumstances. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families and the Southport community during these difficult times.

We condemn the far right, Islamophobic riots that took place in Southport, outside a mosque, as a result of the spread of disinformation, when families and communities were grieving their loved ones. We applaud how Southport communities have collaborated to rebuild local streets and have exemplified solidarity in the aftermath of violent riots.

ISB condemns the multiple riots that have erupted all across the country which have showcased gratuitous violence and the targeting of ethnic minority individuals and public property; including hotels, police stations, libraries and mosques to name a few. This is the product of the ongoing and consistent demonisation and ‘othering’ of Muslims, refugees, and certain minority groups.

These acts of hatred and violence threaten our democratic values of tolerance and respect, seeking to undermine communities and the rule of law. For too long, hateful and divisive rhetoric from certain politicians and commentators have been allowed to fester without accountability. We urge communities to remain calm against provocation, consider their safety and security and let the police do their job.

We are appreciative of the immense efforts of our police force and remain optimistic in light of the tremendous resilience shown by local communities protecting one another.

We must remain vigilant of forces that for too long have been threatening to tear our communities apart whilst scapegoating minorities.

We must renew our efforts to protect our multicultural British society and hold to account those who seek to sew discord and undermine peaceful coexistence.

We have so many teams that could benefit from your time and energy; our residentials, online circles, regional events, Ramadan qiyams, masterclasses etc all require volunteer effort to run to such high standards, so please consider supporting us by getting involved!

If you’re interested, you can get in touch with anyone on the committee, or your Campus Coordinators: Rasheed, Aadam & Maha.

Please also get in touch with us if you have any questions, feedback or suggestions on how we can improve your Campus experience.
