This month, anti-Muslim graffiti targeting mosques and community centers in London has raised significant concerns within affected communities. Police are treating these acts, which occurred from January 6 to 23, as hate crimes, while investigating possible links to an online anti-Muslim group. Community leaders and local officials, including the mayor of Newham, have condemned the actions and expressed their commitment to ensuring safety and support for Muslim residents. Affected mosques have emphasized resilience and unity in the face of such hate-filled acts.
Those responsible for this act of hate have shamed only themselves. This is not an act of faith - it's an act of cowardice. But they will not intimidate us. We will not live in fear. Together, as a united community, we will stand strong.
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.
