The Muslim Council of Britain’s approach to dealing with public affairs is one of participation not agitation. The MCB views its dealings with government and policymakers as a matter of constructive engagement. This means that the MCB strives to understand and deal with problems and influence policies and outcomes through principled and effective participation. The MCB is a non-partisan, cross-sectarian, democratic and independent umbrella organisation that seeks constructive partnerships with all other entities interested in our common well being as citizens of the UK.
