75 Percent Of Muslims In The UK Are Worried About Safety After Right Wing Riots

JAKARTA - As many as 75 percent of Muslims in Igggris are worried about their safety after a wave of far-right extremist unrest. This is based on the results of a recent survey by the Muslim Women's Network.

Citing Arab News, Sunday, August 19, the survey also cited the same anxiety experienced by 16 percent of British Muslims before a wave of right-wing demonstrations protested against anti-migrants that led to riots.

Meanwhile, another 20 percent claimed to have faced violence before the riots then spread in England due to hoaxes of the identity of the perpetrators of the stabbing of teenagers in Southport on July 30.

The identity of the stabbing perpetrators killed three children in Southport who were manipulated by hoax spreaders with the narrative of an asylum seeker Muslim or migrant.

Although the police have arrested and confirmed to the public that the perpetrators of the stabbing were not Muslims and migrants, namely Axel Rudakubana (17) who was born in Cardiff, the British right-wing mob who had been consumed by hoaxes continued to terrorize migrants by committing riots.

Separately, a Muslim woman named Lila Tamea (26) who was interviewed by Sky News admitted that she was worried that it would be erratic when the riots took place at her place at the Abdullah Qualim Mosque, Liverpool.

There is almost a feeling that the police will not protect us. So, it is very important to show solidarity not only from the Muslim community," he said.

Many non-Muslim communities came out on Friday to protect the mosque, continued Lila.

Muslim CEO of Women's Network, Shaista Gohir said hate crimes in the UK are increasing from year to year because strategies for prevention are outdated.

"I want the hate crime law to be strengthened by the definition of the term 'hostility'," said Gohir.

Gohir said that the charity he leads is preparing assistance to more people, especially Muslim women, to dare to report hate crimes so that people can better understand their frequencies.

"What really worries me is when a woman calls and says, 'I'm harassed when I'm with kids'," said Gohir.
