More than £117m will be spent to protect mosques, Muslim schools and community centres in the UK from hate attacks over the next four years, the government says.
Home Secretary James Cleverly said the investment would give "reassurance and confidence" to British Muslims.
It will be spent on measures including CCTV cameras, alarms and fencing.
The announcement comes in response to concerns the Israel-Hamas conflict is fuelling division in the UK.
Mr Cleverly said: "Anti-Muslim hatred has absolutely no place in our society. We will not let events in the Middle East be used as an excuse to justify abuse against British Muslims.
"The prime minister has made clear that we stand with Muslims in the UK.
"That is exactly why we have committed to this funding, giving reassurance and confidence to UK Muslims at a time when it is crucially needed."
The funding, announced at the beginning of Ramadan, forms part of a package of support to provide reassurance that anti-Muslim abuse, threats or harassment or any form of hate crime will not be tolerated.

How much to investigate and prosecute "asian" rape gangs?
I wonder how many “hate” attacks there have been?
Probably a lot to protect synagogues. Many European nations have been providing added security to synagogues for a long time now.
Some recent stories from Britain:
Home Secretary ramps up security measures to protect Jewish communities.
UK government increases security funding for Jewish community.
Protective security grant funding for Jewish institutions to continue.
They will masking tape together RPG’s across the front windows to protect them from thrown rocks and bottles.
Might be multi-use?
There has been a lot of criticism which is treated the same as a hate crime in the U.K. Unless it’s against Christians or anyone heterosexuals.
I honestly think this diversity thing is turning into a suicide
pill.
It needn’t be, but with our Leftist race baiters, there’s
isn’t much else it can become, but lethal for Western
nations.
The UK is gone as an ally of the US.
It is now an Islamic country.
So, we’re alone again.
Kick ass, take names, send them to Jesus.
We’ve done it before, we’ll do it again.
Trump 2024 like your life depends on it, because it does.
They may need it. Probably lots of British upset about invasion.
The ones upset are older and unarmed.
Just like they are doing now for synagogues and churches, right? Right?
Well, it’s certainly not to stop THEM from carrying hate attacks out against others.
Well, it’s certainly not to stop THEM from carrying hate attacks out against others. All it will do it protect them from understandable retaliation when they do it to others.
Less suicide, more homicide.
And the UK didn’t vote for it, either.
good point. That is partly why Muslims were kicked out of Spain and Portugal in the 16th century. Although they were a minority under Christian rule, they would interfere with Catholic processions, etc.
They probably try to keep people from celebrating Christian holidays, etc. and that may result in retaliation.
Is that enough to give "reassurance and confidence" to Christian and Jewish Brits?
Use that money to buy them all one-way tickets to whatever majority muzzie $hithole they want to live in.
Better use of public funds...
For centuries anti Islamic hate protected Europe from that evil Religion . Toleration of the intolerant is not a virtue.
Too many to count - multiple Christian church bells in the UK have been silenced because of sometimes just ONE complaint by ‘newcomers’. Try complaining about those savages with their asses in the air while they take over entire streets and town centers and see what happens.

Jack the Ripper wouldn’t recognize the street views of Whitechapel’s residents. However, quite a lot of the US looks the same. Who would ever have thought there has been halal animal slaughtering in Texas since 9/11.
