Every US foreign-policy crisis spikes hate crimes against anyone perceived as Muslim

Evidence

Race hate crime figures show that Islamophobic crimes increase following a terrorist attack (Travis 2017), and there is increasing awareness – not just among political leaders and the police but among the wider public and media – that we must be more considered in reporting on terrorist attacks, and not jump to the conclusion that all incidents involving injury are necessarily acts of Islamist terrorism (or that all public decisions involving Muslims are inherently suspect). — Runnymede Trust (ed.

Following the Brexit vote and terrorist attacks in Manchester and London in 2017, we have now seen a sharp rise in hate crimes and anti-Muslim attacks in Britain (Sharman and Jones 2017, Littler and Feldman 2015). These incidents include mosques being targeted, Muslim women who have had their hijab (headscarf) or niqab (face veil) pulled off, and two Muslims in London who were the subject of a horrific acid attack (Hooper 2017). — A.
