Evidence
Drawing upon the British setting to provide a more detailed insight into the backlashes that ensued after 7/7 police records from Sheffield in the North of England show how from the beginning of 2005 to 6 July 2005, only one ‘Islamophobic’ incident had been reported, whereas in the two weeks following the 7/7 bombings, the same records show how more than 30 incidents were recorded: a rise of 3,000 per cent. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 590
