Mustafa Field MBE (born February 1981) 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 is director of Faiths Forum for London. [2] He is also co-founder of The Big Iftar. [3] Before moving into faith-related organisations, Field was Brent Council's Community Cohesion Officer (2008-10) and Labour Party candidate for Mapesbury Ward (2013). [4]
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]
Rabbi Julia Neuberger, Vice-President of the JLC and Patron of Faith Matters, has endorsed The Big Itfar foundation: "I’m really proud of my community for engaging so wholeheartedly with this interfaith initiative.” [5]
Field has a number of close links with the Home Office and anti-terrorism strategies across wider Government. Firstly, Field is the director of Strengthening Faith Institutions. Alongside Faith Forum's Head of Operations Natan Levy, the organisation looks to “empower faith communities across England.” [6] SFI had received funding, totalling £200,000 a year, for years 15/16 and 16/17 as part of the “Government Integration Project.” [7]
Alongside this, Field is also reportedly a fellow of John Smith Trust, an initiative that aimed to nurture a new generation of leaders and which was supported by the Home Office. [8]
Field’s strongest associations with the British State are those which link IntegrityUK, an organisation he founded, with the official Government programme, Building A Stronger Britain Together. Integrity looks to provide “…bespoke security reports; daily MENA analysis and current CVE research [to] government institutions", 'CVE' being the Government's term of 'Countering Violent Extremism'. [9] Officially, Integrity sits under the umbrella organisation International Centre for Integration & Cohesion [10], which is run by other members of the Field family [11] and was outlined as one of the organisations receiving funding from the “Building A Stronger Britain Together”. [12]
It also appears that Field is prominent within Urban Muslimz, an organisation that offers “a space for candid conversation about faith, politics and society” [13], came into operation in December 2019. Field appears as the moderator of a number of recent conferences of the group (see Urban Muslimz page). Urban Muslimz is backed by the International Centre for Integration & Cohesion (ICIC), an organisation that is run by other members of the Field family. [14] The ICIC has been previously backed by the Home Office's Building a Stronger Britain Together (BSBT). [15]
Field has also been involved in the social enterprise CampUK since around 2015. [16] CampUK describes itself as an independent social enterprise, led by experienced volunteers, focusing on three core components: engaging physical activities, spiritual instruction and personal development workshops. The camp takes place annually at Condover Hall, which is described as "a prestigious Elizabethan residential activity centre." [17]
Relationship with Rabbi Natan Levy
Mustafa Field, Director of the Faiths Forum for London, has maintained a close and high-profile professional and public relationship with Orthodox Rabbi Natan Levy, who served as Head of Operations at the same organisation for several years.[18]
The two men have co-authored articles, issued joint public statements, planted trees together in interfaith initiatives, broken Ramadan fasts in synagogues, and appeared side-by-side at numerous events promoting Jewish-Muslim relations. Notable examples include:
- A joint letter to The Independent (2018) emphasising shared values between Jews and Muslims.[18]
- Coordinated interfaith responses, such as a statement following the Manchester Arena attack (2017).[19]
- Joint participation in tree-planting ceremonies and events with the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis during the 2023 genocide in Gaza.[20]
- Public appearances celebrating religious festivals together, including Yom Kippur and Ashura reflections in Jewish News.[21]
This partnership has been presented as a model of positive interfaith friendship and “bridge-building” within the Faiths Forum for London, an organisation based at Collaboration House, a multifaith hub funded by Zionist philanthropist Maurice Ostro.
Critics argue that such high-level, visible collaboration between a senior Muslim community figure and a rabbi actively engaged in interfaith normalisation efforts contributes to faithwashing. By framing the Zionist entity as a legitimate partner in religious harmony and civic dialogue, these initiatives help obscure the settler colony’s ongoing occupation, apartheid policies, and dispossession of Palestinians. The relationship exemplifies how interfaith platforms, especially those operating from Zionist-funded spaces like Collaboration House, often serve to normalise the settler colony rather than challenge its colonial reality.
Criticisms
Field has been criticised for embedding in state strategies against Muslims, using interfaith apparatuses to suffocate pro-Palestinian voices.[1] His Zionist collaborations, amid Prevent's institutional Islamophobia, exemplify co-optation of Muslim figures to advance counter-extremism that shields the settler colony.[1]
