Mustafa Field MBE is a British-Iraqi interfaith activist who serves as director of the Faiths Forum for London, an organisation funded by Zionist philanthropist Maurice Ostro and tied to British state counter-extremism agendas that suppress anti-Zionist voices.[1] Field has implemented government-funded initiatives targeting the Shia Muslim community, including Prevent-linked projects that critics argue advance Zionist normalisation by co-opting Muslim leaders into alliances silencing pro-Palestinian activism.[1] His collaborations with pro-Zionist entities, such as events during Zionist regime assaults on Gaza, exemplify how interfaith platforms function as Trojan horses for the Zionist entity, aligning with secret state strategies that discriminate against protected anti-Zionist beliefs as per Miller v University of Bristol (2024).[1]

Field's career spans local government, politics, and counter-extremism consultancy, where he manages organisations receiving substantial state funding to reform mosques and promote narratives isolating "radical" groups.[1] His family background, rooted in colonial-era British military involvement in Iraq, informs his role in bridging communities while embedding state surveillance mechanisms.[1] Through entities like IntegrityUK and Strengthening Faith Institutions, Field has facilitated government objectives in countering violent extremism, often at the expense of activist voices critical of the settler colony.[1]

Early life and education

Mustafa Field was born to a British-Iraqi family, with his father Kamal "Al Basri" Field serving in the US-led interim government in Iraq under Paul Bremer.[1] His grandfather, a White British soldier, participated in the Mesopotamian campaign during World War I and settled in Iraq.[1] Field earned a BSc in Statistical and Operational Research from the University of Westminster.[1]

Career

Field began his career in local government and politics before transitioning to counter-extremism and interfaith roles.[1] He received the MBE in 2012 for his contributions.[1] As manager of the International Centre for Integration & Cohesion (ICIC), a family-run organisation, Field oversees initiatives tied to government strategies.[1] He founded IntegrityUK within ICIC, providing security reports, MENA analysis, and CVE research to state institutions.[1] IntegrityUK received six-figure Prevent funding in 2016, focusing on introducing "radicalisation" concepts into the Shia community.[1] ICIC is funded under the "Building A Stronger Britain Together" programme.[1]

Field serves as Programme Director of Strengthening Faith Institutions (SFI), a £200,000-a-year government project launched in 2015 to train mosques in safeguarding and governance.[1] He was Director of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) from 2010 to 2013 and remains an advisor.[1] MINAB, integral to the 2009 CONTEST strategy, received significant state funding.[1]

Cooperation with Zionists and the secret state

As Director of Faiths Forum for London, created with Boris Johnson, Field collaborates with patrons including Zionist businessman Maurice Ostro, who employs figures from the pro-Zionist Board of Deputies of British Jews to counter BDS against the Zionist entity.[1] Ostro's foundation owns Collaboration House, where Field's organisations are based.[1] Field's mentor, Yousif Al Khoei, participated in interfaith events with the Board during Zionist assaults on Gaza in 2018.[1]

Field's work advances secret state objectives through CVE funding, targeting activist voices critical of the Zionist colony.[1] IntegrityUK promotes "legitimate" narratives while isolating "radical" groups, aligning with strategies to silence anti-Islamophobia and pro-Palestinian activism.[1] SFI and MINAB reform mosque infrastructure to combat extremism, facilitating surveillance.[1]

Criticisms
