MuslimViews

Muslim Views is media organisation using contemporary media to provide information, comment and analysis and to advocate universal values and social justice. Muslim Views has a publishing record dating back to 1960. It was first published as Muslim News on 16 December 1960 and its first editor was Imam Abdullah Haron, a renowned anti-Apartheid activist who was killed by the South African security police in 1969. Muslim News had a proud history of resistance against Apartheid and solidarity with the cause for freedom and liberation in South Africa. Among its milestones is its survival of banning orders of no less than 21 editions of the paper. Due to the forced closure of Muslim News, Muslim Views was launched in September 1986 with Farid Sayed as the founding editor.
