Anas Altikriti

Anas Altikri­ti is a British-Iraqi activist, schol­ar, and the founder & CEO of the Cor­do­ba Foun­da­tion. He was for­mer­ly pres­i­dent of the Mus­lim Asso­ci­a­tion of Britain (MAB) and is also named as a lead­ing fig­ure in the British Mus­lim Ini­tia­tive (BMI), an orga­ni­za­tion often described as asso­ci­at­ed with the UK Mus­lim Broth­er­hood net­work. His father, Osama al-Tikri­ti, was a leader of the Iraqi Islam­ic Par­ty, which is usu­al­ly under­stood as the Iraqi branch of the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood. Crit­ics note that Altikri­ti has been por­trayed in GMBDW (the Glob­al Mus­lim Broth­er­hood Dai­ly Watch) as one of the UK’s prin­ci­pal Broth­er­hood interlocutors—altogether plac­ing him at the cross­roads of civ­il soci­ety work, intel­lec­tu­al advo­ca­cy, and Islamist polit­i­cal net­works. In par­lia­men­tary and pol­i­cy debates, he has been linked to broad­er Mus­lim Broth­er­hood cir­cles with­out his claim­ing for­mal mem­ber­ship, and some of his orga­ni­za­tion­al alliances have raised scruti­ny regard­ing ide­o­log­i­cal align­ment rather than explic­it orga­ni­za­tion­al control.
