Islamophobic hate crimes rise after each terrorist attack

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. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 79
