Muhammad Shafiq Biography

Muhammad Shafiq is one of the most popular and richest Television Presenter who was born on January 25, 1979 in Rochdale, United Kingdom. Mohammed Shafiq, born 25 January 1979, is a British Muslim media commentator.

Shafiq was the project manger for the first Muslim Unity Convention. It was held after the 7/7 terrorist attacks on Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. He was part of the organizing committee for the International Muslim Unity Convention, which took place in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in October 2009.

In October 2013 Shafiq was alerted by anti-terrorist police that he and a number of other prominent Muslim figures in the UK had been targeted by a propaganda video created by Al-Shabaab, the terrorist group responsible for the attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Kenya. The video branded Shafiq and other Muslims for “selling out” and had urged jihadists in the UK to take action, citing the murder of Lee Rigby as an example to follow. Shafiq was later offered special police protection by the police.

In January 2014 Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Maajid Nawaz, a secular Muslim, posted a “Jesus and Mo” image on his Twitter account. The image depicts Jesus saying “Hey” and Mohammed saying “How ya doin'”. Shafiq then posted on Twitter “We will notify all muslim organisations in the UK of his despicable behaviour and also notify Islamic countries.” Shafiq further Tweeted “Ghustaki Rasool Quilliam,” so linking Nawaz’s anti-extremist think tank with an Urdu term which means “defamer of the prophet”, which under Islamic law is a crime that carries a death penalty. Maajid Nawaz has since received a number of death threats. Shafiq also reportedly organized an on- line petition to Nick Clegg to have Nawaz removed as a Liberal Democrat candidate, though when the organizers of the petition, named as SA et al., were contacted by the press they distanced themselves from Shafiq. The online petition asking Clegg to suspend Nawaz eventually had 22, 927 supporters, a counter petition calling for Clegg to discipline Shafiq received 8,375 supporters.

Since 2005 when Benedict XVI, the newly elected Pope, made a controversial speech to Germany, Shafiq has been regularly appearing on radio and television. Shafiq also appeared on Sky News 24 and BBC News 24 discussing the topic. Shafiq was the senior presenter and chief of News and Politics at Ummah Channel. He also presents several shows, including Debate Night. He is also the main English-speaking host. Shafiq, a former Conservative MP Jerry Hayes, also reviews newspapers regularly on Stephen Nolan’s Friday late night show on BBC Radio 5 Live at midnight.
