Why Cordoba?

At times when human minds and intellects clash, the spirit of Cordoba is evoked. The symbol of human excellence, intellectual ingenuity and spiritual elation, Cordoba (Arabic: Qurtuba), the city, civilization and people, remains living evidence of the ability of minds and aspirations to meet, collaborate and strive for the common goal of advancement and success.

What is The Cordoba Foundation?

The world today is replete with tensions and conflicts on religious and political issues. Whilst some may interpret such conflicts as proof of an inevitable clash between the West and the Muslim world, The Cordoba Foundation works to prove that such a clash is neither inevitable, nor necessary.

The Men and Women of The Cordoba Foundation Established in 2005, The Cordoba Foundation is an independent research and public relations organisation, which was founded by the prominent British Muslim, Anas Altikriti. A lecturer of post-graduate studies, Altikriti has actively campaigned on numerous just causes internationally — a strong voice of tolerance and reason in our troubled times. He is backed by a team of professionals committed to dialogue and a rapprochement between Islam and the West.
