The Muslim Action Committee is a United Kingdom based umbrella organisation specifically set up in February 2006 to respond the Muhammed cartoons published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. The Muslim Action Committee includes over 400 Sunni Muslim religious scholars as well as Islamic organisations representing all schools of thought in the Muslim community of Britain. The Muslim Action Committee spokesman Shaykh Faiz Siddiqi has asked for a tightening of the Press Complaints Code as well as a change in the Race Relations Law. On Friday 17 February 2006, a "campaign for global civility", focusing on preventing disrespect against Muhammad and the Islamic religion, and fighting Islamophobia, was launched, along with a document, a "Proclamation of global civility". The proclamation does not refer explicitly to Islam or to the Muhammed cartoons. The group organised a public demonstration, attended by 15,000 people, held on Saturday 18 February 2006.
