Anti-Muslim hate victimization is typically repeat, not one-off.

Evidence

Rarely did participants describe anti-Muslim hate crime as ‘one-off’; rather, there was always the sense, the fear, the expectation of another attack. Repeat incidents of cyberand/or physical-world anti-Muslim hate increase feelings of insecurity, vulnerability and anxiety among victims. Bowling (2009) states that repeated or persistent victimization can undermine the security of actual and potential victims, and induce fear and anxiety. — A. Hussain, N.
