The Islamic Human Rights Commission, or IHRC, is a non-profit organization that campaigns against violations of the human rights of Muslims. The group is based in London and was established in 1997. Since a BBC documentary broadcast on July 15, 2004 exposed very strong anti-Islamic opinions within the far-right British National Party, the IHRC has campaigned for the prohibition of that party - which they feel is perfectly acceptable, whereas the British National Party campaigning for the prohibition of the Islamic Human Rights Commission on religious and ethnic hatred grounds is not.
The IHRC has been criticized as a front for radical Islamists by the Stephen Roth Institute, an organization studying anti-Semitism based in the University of Tel Aviv. The IHRC has organised joint statements with various Islamic groups about UK terror legislation, on many occasions, and collaborated with prominent civil liberties lawyers like Gareth Peirce and Louise Christian [1]. The commission organizes the annual Al-Quds Day demonstration in London, initiated by Ayatollah Khomeini.
