MPACIE is a non-profit making organisation working with the community, helping Muslims to help themselves. We are not a charity but a unique Empowerment System; it is our aim to defend Muslim interests and Islam throughout Ireland.

The Muslim population constitutes the fastest growing religious minority in Ireland, yet we are the most under-represented in the political process. The needs and opinions of Muslims in Ireland have been disregarded for too long and by too many.

We have been made to feel as if Ireland has done us a great favour by allowing us to live and work here – but many Muslims in Ireland today were born here, and many others are native Irish citizens who have reverted to Islam. Either way we are all Irish citizens and Ireland is our home, we live, work, bring revenue in and pay taxes here. Muslims are law-abiding citizens and as such have a right to be heard, a right to be listened to and a right to be taken seriously.

It is the aim of MPACIE to change the situation for Muslims in Ireland and throughout the rest of Europe. We aim to give power to the Muslim community through a system of media monitoring, political lobbying and grass-roots community and institutional activism to enable the individual and the community to change their own situation and the situation of Muslims at large.

MPACIE has been and still is forging links with the media to open an avenue for rational dialogue and a re-evaluation of the role of Muslims and Islam in Ireland.

Tired of a government attitude of mere interest in using Muslim groups and individuals to support its policies, rather than taking account of the Muslim voice, MPACIE is aiming to politicise Muslims and encourage them to get to know their TDs, and to feel confident in raising issues with them – it is after all their job to look after the interests of their constituents.

MPACIE aims to bring the community together; disunity among Muslims has been our biggest downfall. However, this will not prevent us from holding Muslims and their leaders accountable. The lack of accountability is stifling the Ummah, no responsibility and no accountability means NO change. This is unacceptable.

MPACIE are committed to working with like minded organisations as a means of breaking down barriers and at the same time pooling resources and experience.

We are committed to Muslims in Ireland and our betterment in Irish society. Sponsor us, join us, or email us for more information.
