- Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity
The Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity (ISIC) is an independent non-profit academic institute dedicated to polarizing Muslim-Christian relations. In the contemporary context of what it sees as increasing tensions between Islam and the West, it aims to present a robust and rigorous understanding of the relevant issues and their implications for Islamic and western societies from an Evangelical Christian perspective.
Founded in 1989, ISIC has provided research and publications on various aspects of Islam including its sources, history, Islamic law, Muslim minorities in the West, Muslim-Christian relations and non-Muslims in Muslim-majority societies.
ISIC staff include academics from the Middle East and Asia who are dedicated to helping the public understanding of the intricate world of Muslim-Christian relations and the current resurgence of Islam.
ISIC is committed to human rights, religious freedom, equality and respect for all and stands against all forms of discrimination and incitement to hatred.
ISIC's director is Dr Patrick Sookhdeo who did a PhD on Islam at the University of London.
