Islam

The influence of radical Islam is growing in the UK and as an ideology it seeks to shape our political and social landscape. From the introduction of sharia councils, and Islamic finance, to the implications on freedom of speech and women’s rights, the presence of Islamism in the UK has great repercussions for all of us. At Christian Concern we aim to raise awareness of the impact that this may have on the UK and offer a Christian response.

  • Is Islam a Religion of Peace?
    November 7th, 2018
    Tim Dieppe, head of public policy at Christian Concern, has contributed an in-depth article to the most recent ‘Affinity Bulletin: News and Reports from the Social Issues Team’. In it, he asks how we determine whether a religion should be described as a ‘religion of peace’ and discusses whether Islam should be described as such. You can also read the full Affinity Bulletin on their website.
  • The epidemic of Islamic sex-grooming
    November 2nd, 2018
    The Christian Legal Centre is currently helping and supporting ‘Sarah’ (not her real name), a survivor of an Islamic sex-grooming gang, and raising awareness of the epidemic of Islamic sex-grooming gangs. Now, as more gangs come to light and are convicted, the injustices that exist within our State are becoming ever clearer. The problem is even more widespread than first thought, and the need for the Church to step up and act is even more urgent.
  • ECHR upholds penalising criticism of the 'Prophet of Islam'
    November 2nd, 2018
    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last week ruled that an Austrian woman who was penalised by the Austrian courts for insulting Muhammad did not have her rights to freedom of expression under the European Convention of Human Rights violated. Tim Dieppe examines the facts around the case and how the Court reached its decision. He concludes that the ECHR has set a very dangerous precedent for free speech.
