Attacks on Muslims spike after Woolwich killing (Tell Mama hotline for Islamophobic crimes)
The Guardian ^ | May 23, 2013 | Haroon Siddique and Sam Jones

Fears of a prolonged backlash against Muslims have intensified after dozens of Islamophobic incidents were reported in the wake of the murder of the British soldier Lee Rigby in south London.

The Tell Mama hotline for recording Islamophobic crimes and incidents recorded 38 incidents over Wednesday night, including attacks on three mosques, with more reported on Thursday.

The Metropolitan police put 1,200 more officers on the street on Thursday, with extra patrols deployed to mosques and religious sites as far-right groups reacted to the tragedy.

The Tell Mama co-ordinator Fiyaz Mughal, from Faith Matters, said the service usually recorded three or four incidents on an average day, but the spike after Wednesday's killing reflected simmering resentment against Muslims and was unlikely to fizzle out.

"What we are seeing is concerted action from individuals across the country," he said. "We are really concerned. When you see a wider picture of resentment and retribution, this is telling us it's an increasing problem. Something is moving in a very disturbing direction."(continued)

I love them playing the victim card with the full force of the state behind them.

The LORD rebuke the Manchester Guardian to the effect that it falls. Out of the plethora of propagandist papers, this one has been grossly offensive.

That something wouldn’t be ..........ISLAM would it????

It’s interesting that the “extremeists” never butcher
these “interfaith” groups but of course they know who
is on their side.

If your government is not keeping out the trash, then it falls to citizens to take up the slack I suppose.

I hope it is not “a spike”, but an awakening.

“....dozens of Islamophobic incidents were reported in the wake of the murder of the British soldier....”

.
Would like to know in detail what happened in these “dozens” of hateful acts.

Dozens looked cross-eyed at a muzzie?

I'll say it first. Don't count the UK out just yet.

I remember when after 9/11 a Sihk was murdered because he was wearing a turban, although they are not Muslim at all.

Some sent nasty Tweets that disparaged the Religion of Peace. They were of course arrested.

Others though about doing so. They haven’t been arrested. Yet.

There a Brit named Pat Condell on youtube who posts amazing critiques of the Religion of Pieces from time to time.He did one about The Guardian and its connection to the RoP.As a Brit he's probably quite well qualified to inform the world about that rag.

Here's the link (too lazy to look up how to construct a real link)

The Brits need to remove the Quislings in London who enable the Islamists.

So only “far-right” people are willing to defend their homeland? Is that what the Left want us to take away from all this?

PHOBIA? Irrational fear? After a PROUD Islamic supremacist decapitates a man in full view and BOASTS of his action while awaiting to be taken into custody?

So back to grazing, sheeple. The muslim superiors expect it.

Sorry, but the UK is done. Ditto France and Sweden.

However, the Germans aren’t. That’s where to watch. They get truly ticked off, well, look out Religion of Peace.
