Faith Matters was launched in 2006 "...to enable faith communities to reduce conflict using conflict resolution tools. Faith Matters works on integration, cohesion, hate crime and countering extremism projects." The oganisation aims to develop strong relationships between faith communities using historical and religious contexts and by identifying commonalities between communities. Faith Matters has worked on countering extremism projects in Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria and Egypt.[1]

It 'was incorporated as a not for profit Community Interest Company in February 2007'.[2] In a Directors report for 2007 Fiyaz Mughal reported a project called the 'Bridging Beliefs Forums' that were undertaken in 5 cities across the UK, with 'attendees' 'primarily from Muslim and Jewish communities'. 'The project was conducted in partnership with the Three Faiths Forum, the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Sufi Muslim Council.'[3]

Fiyaz Mughal registered the domain name 'faith-matters.org' on 3 July 2008.
