Greatest rise in anti-Muslim hate in UK since Hamas's attack on 7 October

Incidents included verbal threats, online abuse and in one instance, a Muslim family had the word "Hamas" written on their front door, a UK-based organisation has said.

Ooh thread police? Surely it’s ok to consider context.

Avoiding derailment which is against mn talk guidelines.

What do you mean?

Thank you for starting this.

It is a significant problem, exacerbated I think by some of the language used by political figures and the media in relation to the conflict.

There's also a huge rise in antisemitic abuse globally since the Hamas attacks.

Yes there is a thread for that topic already so please leave this one for anti Muslim hate

It’s not really a surprise. The aggressive weekly protests don’t help. The hatred my Jewish neighbours are experiencing is vile.

Can you explain to me why do the weekly protests don’t help?

It's not really surprising as this happens after every terrorist attack especially 9-11

Considering the UK government’s stance and reporting of pro-Gaza gatherings, this does not surprise me in the slightest.
