'This is nothing to do with the Southport stabbing, it's do with years and years of racist and Islamophobic rhetoric'
Violent scenes following the tragic murder of three young girls in Southport on Monday quickly spread across the UK. On Saturday , they arrived in Manchester.
Unrest followed the killing of three young girls in Southport on Monday, with 147 arrests made since Saturday alone. "Even if that was true, the response is shocking. In the past, when something bad happened you would say 'please Allah, let it not be Muslim'. Now we've got to the stage where, even if it isn't a Muslim, Muslims are still attacked.That undertone has left many in the Muslim community living in 'fear and disbelief' according to Amin.
“I think once there was online rumours and speculation that the perpetrator of the heinous crime was a migrant and of the Islamic faith, it was the start of the fear and apprehension amongst local mosques." Off the back of the Southport Mosque attack, The British Muslim Heritage Centre in Manchester released a strong statement condemning the violence and misinformation that lead to the unfortunate events.
