UK: Islamophobic hate crimes surge in London

Shafaqna English- Islamophobic hate crimes have increased in London, according to data recorded by the Met Police in May.

Figures show Islamophobic hate crime was up by a third.

British Muslim Trust chief executive Akeela Ahmed said: “It is no surprise to see that one of the most affected areas is Westminster, where far-right activists have marched on our streets calling for the marginalisation of Muslim communities.”

The trust, which monitors and supports victims of anti-Muslim hate, said tackling the problem “requires a society-wide solution”.
