'Our mosque was threatened after the 7/7 bombings'

The actions of the bombers, all British Muslims, affected Muslim communities - both immediately and in the long term. Dilowar Khan, then an executive director at East London Mosque, described 'a very tense time for all of us'. He said the community felt anti-Muslim hatred, with women in particular afraid to leave their homes; that the mosque received 'a number of bomb threats', and its windows were smashed.
