Visibly Muslim appearance, not Muslim identity, triggers victimisation

Evidence

I have a public Twitter account to promote my work and I get regular abuse on that. I have my picture on my Twitter account so they know I am Muslim. I started wearing the hijab two years ago. I was not a Muslim before. I did not get any online or offline abuse at all before wearing the hijab. — Irene Zempi and Imran Awan, Islamophobia, 138
