The British Islam Conference will hear from a range of speakers and organisations.

The Conference taking place on 24 and 25 February is organised the New Horizons in British Islam and will be held at the Human Rights Action Centre. It says it will be ‘promoting collaboration and thinking around the idea of a British Islam and encouraging the development of British Muslim thought, identity and culture; as well as creating a space for the development of networks and partnerships’.

The event says is ‘an open, inclusive and forward-looking arena for debate, discussion and sharing of ideas that are rooted in the British context.’

There are again notable absentees on the list including the Muslim Council of Britain who helped to launch the increasingly successful Visit My Mosque initiative this weekend.
