As violence against Muslims and asylum seekers escalates in the UK, questions are raised about the government's response and the role of misinformation in fueling hatred.Anti-Muslim hate is in the headlines in the UK, where since-debunked online misinformation has sparked a flood of far-right riots.
Zarah Sultana, a member of Parliament from the ruling Labour Party, argued this view during a TV interview when she questioned why it was controversial to call the protests"Islamophobic", knowing that Muslim communities were being specifically targeted. The claim was false, as police and other officials have confirmed that the suspect was born in Wales.
It is anti-Muslim when there are"thugs and extremists setting up checkpoints" across towns in the UK,"asking drivers whether they are white or if they're brown and allowing the white ones through". "It's been the incitement by sections of our right-wing media. It's been the demonisation of Muslims, by politicians, by commentators, by the media, and it's been, on the rise," he said, adding:"It is permeated through the media, certain sections of the media, right-wing media. It is permeated through certain members of Parliament, certain political parties."
With more far-right protesters planning to gather outside immigration centres, Al-Dabbagh said,"We can only sort of wait and watch and see what happens.", UK-based monitoring group Tell Mama reported that around 10 mosques had been attacked or faced threats during the ongoing riots.
