UK Muslims hit by rise in prejudice
A total of 80 per cent of people surveyed by the Islamic Human Rights Commission said they had experienced discrimination.

(snip)

IHRC spokesman Arzu Merali said: "This is a wake-up call for Britain. The British government cannot continue to ignore the depth and nature of anti-Muslim prejudice in the UK."

Similar stats in the US - although we know that's not true because the bastion of truth and progressive reporting frontpagedaily.com tells us there is no increase in hate crimes against muslims and CAIR is making it all up or exagerating it, unlike hate crimes against Jews which are ALL true :eyes:

Police patrolling burial grounds after Muslim grave desecrated

POLICE have stepped up patrols at burial grounds around Halifax after a pig's head on a stake was stuck on a Muslim grave.


From the Yorkshire Post - reprinted at

there's also been atleast two mosque's burnt down in the US in the lst fortnight and an Islamic school and Mosque vandalised and burnt in Oz (guess we have as many anti-Muslimbigots as anti-semites eh Don?)
