Islam21c

Islam21c is a project that began in 2006 and is now part of Fig and Olive Media. Its mission is to give the Muslim community in Britain a platform to showcase, share, and educate both the UK and international audiences about their vibrant culture as British Muslims. This is done through various artistic expressions such as film, poetry, literature, and digital design. We collaborate with many talented British Muslim men and women, helping them to explore and create their cultural artworks with the support of our dedicated team. Additionally, we focus on training young innovators to become specialists in their fields, empowering them to inspire and guide others in their creative journeys.

As a former nurse, 57-year-old Emma Kamio, said recently, “I disappeared from my family for five days… My story can happen to anyone…” [1]This is something the Muslim community — upon whom these draconian laws were experimented and sold to the masses against — have said all along.
