In the past three and a half decades, The Association of British Muslims has engaged in a number of activities. Some of the more noteworthy are listed below:

h) organised group visits to the Islamic Cultural Centre/London Central Mosque for school children, along with a lecture about Islam;

k) provided – as we still do – a counselling and advice service dealing with most of the issues afflicting the Muslim communities here.

A number of convoy crews were British Muslims, because of the racial policy of the Croats (anyone not white met a great deal of suspicion as being a possible “mujahid”).
