The Council considers itself to be a stabilising influence within the UK Muslim community. Outside of Muslim countries, Islamic institutions are essential for the survival of Muslim communities. Other establishments such as mosques, schools, universities and banks preserve the Muslim identity of a community and create a protective environment for young and old alike.
Historically, Muslim organisations have urged the legislative authorities in the UK, to factor the Islamic viewpoint into all aspects of the legislative process, not least in the field of family law: the response to this call has been surprising indeed. The answer has been clear and unequivocal: one country - one law. Given that what was traditionally known as, 'the Christian perspective' in the UK has been essentially annexed from all legal and legislative processes, it almost seems inappropriate to expect that the perspective of yet another religion - Islam - be factored into the discussion.
