British Muslim Identity
[edit]The City Circle contributes to British Muslim Identity through its weekly discussion groups. It has also attracted controversy through policy of not aligning itself to any particular group or ideology.[citation needed] ,[3] where the MCB and its critics debated.
Following the veil controversy the City Circle organised a public meeting with Jack Straw, where Jack Straw defended his comments.[4]
