Recent incidents of anti-Muslim graffiti across East London, including attacks on multiple mosques and community centers, have raised serious concerns regarding safety among the Muslim community. The police are investigating these acts as hate crimes, focusing on potential links between various incidents that occurred over the past month. Officers have committed to increasing patrols and collaborating with community leaders to address safety concerns amid calls from the Newham Muslim Forum for political action against divisive rhetoric targeting Muslims and ethnic minorities.
"We understand that Muslim communities will be feeling particularly concerned for their safety following this series of shocking hate crimes. Hate has no place on our streets, and tackling it is at the centre of our efforts to make Londoners from all backgrounds and communities feel safe."
"This series of incidents is deeply troubling, and as authorities, we need to ensure that our responses are not only swift but also effective in reassuring communities that such hate has consequences and will not be tolerated."
