It is a tricky world, the realm of West-Muslim World relations. In this field, perhaps like in no other, issues of independence, impartiality and consistency are often raised. For this reason, VCG took the decision not to list their consultants on this website, or their contact information. Only the founding director and the managing consultant are listed below.

H.A. Hellyer, BA (Law), MA (International Political Economy), PhD (Ethnic Relations)
D. M. Rateb, BA (Political Science), BA (Business)

We have a range of other consultants at our disposal who prefer not to have their names publicly listed. They vary from Shari'ah consultants (each one of whom has at least 6 years of advanced shari'ah training in various countries including Syria & Egypt) to academics who teach as professors in Western universities, and media consultants in North America.

Any client can rest assured that in the event that they approach VCG with a consultancy request, he or she will be given full details of the appropriate consultant before the confirmation of the project.

This may strike a visitor to the site as strange, but our clients trust us for the work we do, rather than whose names we put on our website.
