Wishing all those observing the holy month, Ramadan Kareem!  The gorgeous Ramadan Lights return to the West End and we couldn’t be prouder of AIWG member, The Aziz Foundation, for this brilliant initiative that brings communities together and celebrates British Muslim culture.  London’s first interfaith exhibition, “Share the Light”, boasts beautiful art from diverse faiths, and the lights are a reminder of our City’s great diversity.  On behalf of the Anti-Islamophobia Worki

Thank you EY for inviting AIWG to deliver a keynote in recognition of Islamophobia Awareness Month.

This #NationalHateCrimeAwarenessWeek AIWG spoke with Al Jazeera about the recent arson attack on Peacehaven Mosque and the latest hate crime stats that should concern us all.  For the eighth year in a row, Muslims are the most targeted faith group in England and Wales.

And without a legal definition of Islamophobia, Muslim communities remain exposed and unprote

In this latest TRT interview, the AIWG addresses the awful Islamophobic arson attack on Peacehaven Mosque.  This is not just an attack on a building, it’s an attack on a community, on our shared values, and on the right to worship freely and safely.
