The Muslim ban triggered a 94 percent spike in anti-Muslim incidents

Evidence

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.

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 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
