Last month, we lost the renowned Professor Ataullah Siddiqui, an architect and founding president of the Christian Muslim Forum. Professor Siddiqui was a much admired and respected pioneer of Christian-Muslim dialogue in this country and a tremendous asset to CMF. An obituary by Dr Farooq Murad of the Markfield Institute, where Professor Siddiqui taught for many years, can be read on The Guardian website here.
