Attacks on Muslims spike after Woolwich killing (Tell Mama hotline for Islamophobic crimes)

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)

"Fears of a prolonged backlash against Muslims have intensified after dozens of Islamophobic incidents....."

Islamophobic?

I think not. It is inexpressible disgust for Islam and its followers.

Eye for an eye? Be careful what you wish for, Muzzies.

“Imam condemns Woolwich killing as ‘barbaric murder’”

Gee, I feel so much better.

Nope. Certain historical trends recur. Again and again. That’s what I am seeing.

Under Holder, I would not be surprised to be arrested for what I’ve posted on this thread alone. So to answer your question: Yup.

So, are you going back to the Norman Conquest, or what?

Islamophobic. Sure. Can anyone tell me why there is no such word as Amishophobia?

BTW the Hammer was technically Frankish but he embodied the Germanic propensity to utter ruthlessness when called for to oppose islam at Tours.

I’m waiting for any media outlet to say the murderers were Anglophobic. I may be here a while as I wait.

“Orwell must be spinning in his grave”.

Oh, well....I guess they’re keeping it all in the family.

I have no idea what these incidents actually are, but it would seem the OPPOSITE is taking place: segments of the British have reached a tipping point and are NO LONGER
“Islamophobic”.

Friggin’ Guardian wimps wetting their panties. The Guardian is filled with Jew-hating Nazis trying to take down Israel.

Too bad there isn’t a gun for every British man, woman and child in the country so they could properly show their displeasure with muslims.

Charlemagne was also Frankish. They were a Germanic tribe after all.

If they start this crap around here, I will consider them at war with me, and me with them.
