IFE: Statement On Recent Media Slurs

The recent media coverage concerning the Islamic Forum of Europe is grossly inaccurate and, in a number of respects, libellous. Needless to say we are considering our position (including with our lawyers). In the meantime, we cannot allow these false slurs to go unchallenged.

The IFE is not a "radical" organisation and has never advocated the implementation of Shariah law or an Islamic State in the UK.

Further, the IFE categorically condemns violent extremism.

The IFE encourages its members and the wider Muslim community to engage in the democratic process and to participate fully in society, as it is their right to do.
