Muslim Public Affairs Committee is a non-profit making organisation working with the community, helping the Muslims to help themselves.

We are not a charity but a unique Empowerment System; the first of its kind for the Muslims in Europe and it is our aim to defend Muslim interests and Islam throughout Britain and the world.

The Muslim population constitutes the largest minority population in Britain, yet we are the most under represented in the political process.
More than ever, we see that the needs and the opinions of the Muslims are being disregarded.

How many times are Muslims made to feel as if Britain has done them a great favour by allowing them to live and work here - when many Muslims in Britain today were born here, and many others have  reverted to Islam, either way we are British citizens and we live and work and bring revenue in and pay taxes. Muslims are law-abiding citizens and as such have a right to be heard, a right to be listened to and a right to be taken seriously.

It is the aim of MPAC to change the situation for Muslims in Britain and throughout the rest of the world.

For too long have we been left behind in the race for both political and media attention towards the difficulties faced by the Muslims. What has been done to bring these issues to the forefront? 

Originally set up as a web-based media monitoring group, MPAC's first mission was to fight the bias in the media and to re-dress the balance. MPAC has since flourished. Rather than being a concentrated group of activists, funded by the community, MPAC aims to give the power to the community. A system of media monitoring, political lobbying and grass-roots community and institutional activism to allow the individual and the community the ability to change their own situation and the situation for Muslims at large. MPAC has been and still is forging links with the media to open an avenue for rational dialogue and re-education of the individual on the street regarding Islam and Muslims. The aim is make the all-too-common misrepresentation of Islam a thing of the past.

MPAC is aiming to politicise the Muslims and encourage them to get to know their Member of Parliament, and to feel confident in raising issues with them - it is after all their job to look after the interests of their constituents. MPAC is aiming to bring the community together, disunity among Muslims has been our biggest downfall in recent years. MPAC is working with many organisations in its aim to break down barriers to enable us to pool and harness the considerable resources at our disposal as a community.

This is not a knee-jerk reaction to recent developments but it is a life long commitment to ensuring the future of Muslims. If you wish to learn more then join our mailing list or email us for more information.
