This report and analysis by the Centre for Fascist, Anti-Fascist and Post-Fascist Studies at Teesside
University is warmly welcome. It is an independent academic review of the work and data that has
come out from the Tell MAMA project which is organised by Faith Matters. For over a decade, work
with Muslim communities through Faith Matters has consistently led to statements and comments
being made by members of these communities to project officers, about how they have suffered antiMuslim
prejudice. Many have stated that they have suffered repeat incidents and a national
programme looking at this under-researched area of work was needed. This is what the Tell MAMA
project attempts to do. More importantly, it also supports victims of anti-Muslim prejudice so that they
can be signposted, casework undertaken and links with police forces made for possible prosecutions.
