British Muslims — It’s Time to Reclaim the Narrative — Independent — Grassroots — Apolitical — Unaffiliated — Self-funded — #WhatThePhobia
i-narrative is a national grassroots campaign.
We are addressing the urgent need for Muslims to reclaim and define their own narrative.
i-narrative highlights the lack of legal protection for Muslims in Britain and has sparked conversation for real change, prioritising Muslim voices.
Through community awareness, engagement and advocacy, our mission is to influence and shape policy development to protect Muslims in Britain.
Because silence is no longer an option.
We are facing a potential widespread anti-Muslim pogrom.
In August 2024, Britain witnessed the worst race riots in a century. A violent anti-Muslim campaign erupted fuelled by the media platforming and amplifying the racist rhetoric.
In order to safeguard the Muslim community in Britain, it is essential to establish a policy that identifies, prevents and responds to anti-Muslim behaviour, speech, prejudice and discrimination.
So that Muslims in Britain can fully participate in public life without fear of discrimination or hate.
It’s time to reclaim our narrative!
Our surveys ask compelling questions about Muslim equality in the UK and seek your views and perceptions on current affairs, British culture, your lived experiences and opinions on institutional responsibility for controlling and responding to the rise in Muslim-hate.
We are a national campaign, delivering insights into Muslim equality in Britain,
taking an inclusive approach to empower the community dialogue, online and at focus group events. Fill out the Contact Card if you would like to partake or host a community event.
We have a wide range of exciting opportunities and encourage you to volunteer your time, skill and energy to support the successful delivery of the campaign. Fill out the Contact Card and let us know how you can support us with our campaign.

A report published on antisemitism in the UK, concluded with a recommendation to set up a similar commission to consider Islamophobia.
‘Islamophobia: A Challenge for Us All’ launched by the then Labour Party Home Secretary.
Despite 60 recommendations & the Labour Party’s approval of state funding for anti-hate initiatives, there was no official work on tackling Islamophobia for years.
An All Parliamentary Group (APPG) of British Muslims worked towards the creation of a ‘working definition’ of ‘Islamophobia’.
The APPG came up with the following:
“Islamphobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”
The Conservative government rejected the APPG’s definition, then commissioned a new project to redefine.
3 years later, the Conservative government dropped their ambition to create a definition and instead prioritised the protection of the right of speech.
The UK witnessed the worst riots in over a decade.
The Muslim Council of Britain urged the Labour government to adopt the APPG definition.
Tell MAMA reported a surge in hate crimes against Muslims.
In such turbulent times if Muslims are left without a robust structure and legal framework to clearly identify what constitutes prejudice against them, the consequences for the safety of Muslims in Britain is potentially catastrophic.
However, as a non-statutory definition, it lacks the legal authority required to ensure consistent application and enforcement across institutions in Britain.
Our work must continue with urgency and purpose to engage, to shape and to challenge where necessary.
Only through sustained and strategic effort can we secure for Muslims in Britain the full protections, equalityand safety that every community rightfully deserves.
