FROM FEAR AND CONCERN TO HOPE AND PROMISE

with FIYAZ MUGHAL

 

Fiyaz Mughal is the founder of ‘Muslims Against Antisemitism’ and the Founder and Director of ‘Faith Matters’. A leading voice of moderation within Britain’s Muslim community, he has led numerous trips for Muslim activists, politicians and community leaders to Israel and has organised national speaking tours for Holocaust and Kindertransport survivors and Muslim survivors of the killing camps in Bosnia. Through his extraordinary work, he aims to encourage Israeli Jews and Arabs and British Jews and Muslims to see each other through different lenses, instead of being ‘the other.’ He believes that engagement and discourse is essential to counteract the growing gulf between these groups.

Fiyaz will provide us with an insider’s view of current developments within the UK’s Muslim community, both negative and positive and will candidly discuss some of the threats affecting Jews and Muslims today. An optimist by nature, he will identify the alliances that can realistically be built up and methodologies that he has found to be effective in paving the way for a brighter future.

Fiyaz Mughal is the Director and founder of Faith Matters (www.faith-matters.org.uk). He also founded Muslims Against Anti-Semitism which is a Muslim based group that works towards counteracting Anti-Semitism whether externally or internally within sections of Muslim communities.
