islamophobia is not only a consequence of extremism.s after a terrorist atrocity, but islamophobia is a reality for a lot of muslims on a day—to—day basis, so notjust consequential. what we need to remember is that, you know, we need to start looking at this along the lines of it being akin to racism. how have we changed perceptions in society? there is obviously the side of it where we can look at legislation, ensure that hate crime legislation, ensure that hate crime legislation covers islamophobia, that we record properly, that we make sure the police and the monitoring is correct, but also an emphasis now on politicians as well, the kind of take this agenda forward , the kind of take this agenda forward, to not fall into these lazy kind of drugs where we are talking about muslims empathising with terrorist atrocities. we know these arejust a terrorist atrocities. we know these are just a handful of individuals and muslims are part of our society, and muslims are part of our society, and it is about changing that this clause, not see

but also recognition that we need to tackle islamophobia now.something which some of us have been saying needs to be tackled in british society... the weight which we go about tackling this is going to be be problematic because theresa may described that the form extremism. we should be looking at it as extremism. we should be looking at itasa extremism. we should be looking at it as a form of discrimination. more similarto it as a form of discrimination. more similar to racism, homophobia or anti—semitism rather than a form of extremism. because most forms of islamophobia take place in everyday life, muslims affected by it when walking down the street, muslim woman have their scarf pulled ahead, spat at. this is not necessarily something which is a form of extremism or perpetrated by extremists. we know that hate crime and hate in terms of manifestation at street level is perpetrated by ordinary people. so were to be looking to make this much more mainstream in terms of discrimination rather than extremism. what would you say to viewers, what d

about a sharp spike in islamophobia the fourth terror attack strikes the country just three months. good morning this is our international with me kevin i mean it's choose day morning the twentieth of june. first a new islamic state leader has emerged in northern afghanistan after his reported release from the tories background prison in twenty sixteen hours as the son of an jihadi leader and his rise to power seen him fight off other terrorist groups in the region and forced locals to convert to i still. picks up the exclusive story for us from afghanistan. beyond this desert and those mountains lays islamic states newest caliph it the realm of warlord as. he starts himself as a warrior of god others call him a heretic cruel and heartless. he has murdered so many and besieged even more there is no end to his killing i lost twenty five members of my family the could people's heads off their legs arms and fingers some victims i couldn't recognize because of what they did to their faces i lost my son everyone lost their sons head moment ammerman he is the most evil men in the world it

we have allowed islamophobia to grow and thrive in this country.n you have got preachers like tommy robinson, far right political groups who want to call themselves political parties, we are allowing them room to spew out their hatred as well. we need to take the responsibility on our shoulders as well. the media have a massive role to play by branding this as a terrorist attack. just because he is a white man doesn't mean he cant be a white man doesn't mean he cant be a terror list. —— terrorist. he is a terrorist with a crazy ideality. he mounted the pavement and killed muslim men and women. the prime minister said this was treated within eight minutes by the police asa within eight minutes by the police as a terrorist attack. that is what he just as a terrorist attack. that is what hejust said. you as a terrorist attack. that is what he just said. you talk about islamophobia. do you feel that has been on the rise in recent months are yours? we have seen the rise in the level of animosity, hatred, towards the other. we have seen that with hate cr

it is casual islamophobia becoming the norm?ped in different ways. there is lots of casual islamophobia which is different to the extreme motivations that seem to have motivated attacks like this one. islamophobia takes many forms and we need to think in different ways how to tackle more casual or more extremes foi’itis ways how to tackle more casual or more extremes forms of prejudice. how can it be prevented? in terms of monitoring and dealing with far right groups, the state security services need to do more to think about how much resource they put into that. including things like the prevent sphere and how that might develop. more work in schools, developing education strategies, these sorts of things. there is also a wider role for civil society to do more, become more aware and work out what is acceptable and unacceptable. and maybe events like this will cause a rethink. i understand you say the media has a lock to do with it? this is something academics wrestle with. it is very difficult to seek direct causal links betwe

they said there is increasing islamophobia and this attack overnight is a manifestation of that. people down on the ground have been saying to us on bbc news right through the night, saying that this was a direct intentional attack on them and that they wanted it to be treated as such. 0bviously faqs are coming through the night but we now know that one person has been killed in the incident —— facts. eight injured and a 48 to rob man injured. but for a arrested. abdul came out of the hospital, he described the scene, he is one of the men who detained one of the, the man who was in the van. levels on to him. it was after 12am, probably between 1215 and 1220 when this incident happened. there was this old man who passed out on the corner and we were trying to help him, give him cpr. we gathered some friends and came outside the mosque, a few yards away, and we heard speeding, a van turning into us. which, he ran over and luckily i managed to get away. a lot of people got injured. so he managed to get away but we are told you actually detained one of the men...? yes. talk you actua

we've heard from the muslim council of britain, saying that islamophobia has been on the increase.till shocking nonetheless? of course an attack like this is always shopping. i mean, you look at this in two ways. in many ways, this was inevitable and what we expect because we have seen numerous times and what we expect because we have seen numerous times with islamophobia attacks and they are verbal abuse to real attacks on individuals and attack on muslims and taken as a retaliation in a sense for other attacks we have seen, manchester or london. those times, organisations like ourselves and many people actually all on the underground realised that their concentration should not be just on a retaliation but the victims so it hasn't really been a dimension to that really apart from brushing over it but there has been real sentiments, people have felt retaliation and we have seen that, so retaliation and we have seen that, so in many ways this is been seen coming by many people and it is why the frustration is high. i spoke to an eyewitness out there who said victims of manchester a

we have allowed in this country for islamophobia to grow and thrive.he crime scene. as he spoke to reporters he was interrupted by an emotional muslim mother. as a muslim how do i keep my son and i safe? because we don't, we don't feel safe at the moment. i don't even want to send him to school. well, first of all, i'm a muslim. i have children. and i know many members of the community across britain that will express a very similar feeling to what you've just said. sajid javid tried to offer some consolation. this is my community, to hear all these things happening in london, as a muslim you feel so pushed out. whilst religious leaders have condemned this attack in unison, many in this community are angered by the media coverage and what they say is the rush to connect acts of terror with islam, but a reluctance to do so when the victims are muslim. other faith leaders argue that if muslims are being asked to help in the fight against radical extremism, then the least they deserve is fairness when they become the victims. i think islamophobia probably

what kind of atmosphere we've had you know this comes and into the under the context of rising islamophobia in this country hate crime violence all nonviolent has been rapidly on the rise in our society and it's as a result of some of these twits a commentary it's that with that we must we must eliminate so i think the key thing to say here is that this community will continue to stand together we won't allow the dividing line to draw us apart but we will address islamophobia and there are very serious questions to be answered by both the mainstream press and the government and final question what's your message to people who are both of you to be angry about this it's. you know very just to give to people in the muslim community who might be angry. i mean i think they have a right to be angry with the way the media has reported this issue since last night . that you know they said the money the money strong the man was mentally ill to hold an accident at first so i think they have the right to be angered by just it's also working together the community when the attack first occurred to be

islamophobia mean? >> phobia can have a number of definitions.ost popular one for islamophobia is the irrational fear of muslims. >> this legislation i have introduced would lock syrian refugees. >> they are not necessarily a religion of peace. >> that is islamophobia. the rhetoric politicians have been using including the president-elect of the united states, has an extreme part in the perception of americans of syrian refugees. there were 124 reported acts of violence against muslims in 2014. ,n 2015, 257, a 67% increase according to the fbi. in 2016, people are taking to social media to report their experiences. when americans are afraid of the muslim american counterparts already in the country, it makes sense why they would be afraid to except refugees who may be muslim other places. one thing congress and the new president can do is to reduce islamophobia in the united states. first, stop using anti-muslim rhetoric and top assigning the label "terrorist" to all muslims -- stop assigning the label. >> we are not going to strengthen our relat

and that means extremism of any kind, including islamophobia.denied a safe space to grow. it is why wu will be reviewing our counterterrorism strategy and ensuring that police and security services have the powers they need. and it is why we will establish a new commission for countering extremism as a statutory body to help fight hatred and extremism in the same way as we have fought racism. because this extremism is every bit as insidious and destructive to our values, and our way of life. and we will stop at nothing to defeat it. today's tackles at a difficult time in the life of this city. following on from the attack on london bridge two weeks ago, and of course the unimaginable tragedy of grenfell tower la st unimaginable tragedy of grenfell tower last week. on which i will share another meeting of ministers and officials later today. but what we have seen throughout, whether in the heroism of the ordinary citizens who fought off the attackers at london bridge, the unbreakable resolve of the residents in kensington, or this morning the spi

incidents of islamophobia purchased manifested itself in attacks usually on muslim women dressed so easily identified because of the. what we have in britain is a problem of the rise in the far right and there is too many. of these trends happening now that you can't keep writing them off or some operation old reactions of some and so we have to start looking at this and you know closely it's clean and they directed and i think after recent incidents and the sky in the folk attacks that. might start to take this small seriously. it's another tragic night for london of course it was not long ago that this mosque was making plenty of headlines in the u.k. let's take a look at that. for a second the finsbury park mosque opened back in the late one nine hundred eighty s. as the muslim population in the area began to grow but since then it's been one of the biggest prayer holes in britain however in the ninety's the mosque was accused of radicalism and its preachers were linked to al qaida one in mom who was preaching there in one thousand nine hundred seven was the notorious abu hamza the mosq

incidents of islamophobia have been on the rise following a series of attacks in britain by islamist what has happened here in finsbury park is by far the worst attack the muslim community has suffered. and our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford joins me now. what is emerging about the attacker? the man believed to have been driving the van was detained thereby people involved in the incident. a 48—year—old man is in custody. the question is, is he an extremist right wing ideology or part of a right—wing group? at this stage investigators are seeing someone who clearly has racist views and some issues with mental health in the past. they have not so far seen any extreme right—wing activity in an organised way. is it any clearer what happened ? organised way. is it any clearer what happened? it is pretty clear this man, driving his hired van from wales, drove at high speeds up the road, turning sharp left on the third row down on the right into a cul—de—sac where people were waiting between the two prayers of ramadan. they were sitting, chatting, having sued. he has driven int

park attack, the finsbury park attack, saying this was the most violent manifestation today of islamophobia mosques. theresa may has announced extra police to be deployed around mosques as our security correspondent frank gardner reports. this attack targeting british muslims, has been labelled one of britain's most violent incidents of islamophobia today. it took the government just eight minutes to call it a terrorist attack. it was an attack that once again targeted ordinary and the innocent. the prime minister called it as sickening as the other attack this year and repeated her intention to set up a commission to counter extremism. but while police and emergency services were soon on the scene, there are suggestions that policy makers may have underestimated the threat from far right extremism. the whole counter extremism agenda has focussed on islamist extremism and we have seen a growing concern around the far right and individuals who adhere to extremist ideologies, but haven't been tackled. far right extremism in britain is a growing problem. in 2012 to 2013, 172 extremists were re

they have been saying that cases of islamophobia have been on the rise that we did talk to one theater of this community let's take a listen to what he had to say but i think what's happened today is a serious it is a deliberate but just we have to wait to clarify. the more it is open for everybody to the media to use this incident which we all have to condemn as we condemn other incidents like what's happened much just. london bridge we have to condemn this this this incident to go to school who is behind it this video to show you now the spirit online shortly after was primarily showing the moment police arrested the suspect forty eight year old man was handed over to officers after being pinned down by worshipers after what happened to the police arrived. early on to from the former pentagon official michael maloof about this he was looking on he says the suspected attack follows a familiar pattern but a different target now in europe. given the fact that this was a vehicle using the cheap means in fact it's the identical method that isis called upon. terrorists in place to to use b

you also say that you've experienced increased islamophobia. attack, there is a big spike in islamophobia, that's kind of reported statistically. i've experienced that online countless times. i think any muslim person who is actually remotely in the kind of public eye talks about these kinds of issues. braces themselves for, you know, a kind of onslaught of abusive messages. targeted at them solely for being muslim really and even, you know, i've said before actually that even when i sent condolence to say victims after a terror attack or talk about how muslims have actually condemned these kinds of things and what muslim communities have done to deter extremism, i still get islamophobic abuse which kind of shows me, it doesn't really matter who somebody says, it is not about somebody being extreme, it isjust the fact that they are a muslim. do you feel that your experiences are taken seriously? not particularly, but then you know i do understand that in the kind of online sort of realm, it's very difficult for, i think, social media platforms

who are clearly racist people are trying to help build this principle it's not about racism or islamophobia or whatever this is all just creating communities within the french society if we must not underestimate the threat that this can represent to french society. by the midday moscow this is the thirtieth of june twenty seventh kevin zero in our top story the iraqi prime minister has declared victory over islamic state saying the army has recaptured the al-noor a mosque in mosul which is where isis declared a caliphate three years ago but months of heavy fighting between the terrorists and the u.s. led coalition have devastated not only that city itself but also the lives of hundreds of thousands of locals. within minutes of mosul's liberation headlines around the world were dominated by the recapturing of that city. iraq's prime minister is declaring an end to isis in mosul the end of the caliphate iraq's bold claim as it takes mosul famous mosque iraqi forces say they've taken an iconic mosque in the heart of mosul that was destroyed by isis iraqi forces battled the last isis fighters

that has been far too much tolerance of extremism in our country over many years including islamophobia the mayor of london city has and knowledge that violent extremism can now come from anywhere terrorists so much credit for other means other than islamists motivation perverse islam is the motivation the could use this but the police recognise this is a challenge they face just hours after the attack a mosque in east london received a bomb threat and had to be evacuated authorities have now increased security around all places of worship but that hasn't delayed everyone's fear is the british muslim community have quite rightly emphasized the over time there have been rises in the number of attacks on our community islamophobia cuts x. what needs to be a socio economic changes to our society and some clearly political leadership but happened here in finsbury park has shown yet again how deadly the bluntest of tools like cars and vans can be when in the hands of those wishing to commit violent acts of terror figuring out how to prevent such attacks is now a major challenge that's arisen

certainly remember spirit of the muslim community have been talking a lot about islamophobia they have been saying that cases of islamophobia have been on the rise of course officials are going to continue investigating why this incident and gravel certainly was the deed develops we're going to be finding out more about the identity of this attacker a correspondent at the scene there we've got video now to show you to put it online apparently showing the moment police arrested the suspect is a forty eight year old man he was handed over to officers of to be pinned down for a while by worshipers until the police arrived another tragic night the london is waking up today wasn't so long ago that this particular mosque was making plenty of headlines in the u.k. maybe you remember the headlines yourself the finsbury park mosque open back in the late one nine hundred eighty s. as the muslim population in that area began to grow since then it's become one of the biggest prayer holes in britain but it took a twist in the ninety's that mosque was then started to be accused more and more of radi

go to the westminster bridge charice truck we did see that big spics big spike it hate crimes islamophobia cries we see when there's terrorist incidents but you see this we have seen a big spike off the london bridge. to everyone in london or across the country in fact these please report to the victor take prado things too trivial don't think the police won't take you seriously the police force i'm responsible for the police service have a zero tolerance towards take points and should be we've been seeing this isn't the first type of attack to take place in london is the very very miserable some of course we just had that grunfeld fire in previous to that a number of terrorist attacks. and less natural to peter kokomo is a former british police officer peter welcome back to the program i mean here we are again after another incident more promises from the prime minister to vow to protect the public better she hasn't this time said that they'll be a commission to look at the extreme islam and hate crimes but as things stand muslim not muslim which and the community you allow yourself to in

to the end of ramadan just what we have you as well what we're hearing more and more about our islamophobia attacks really in britain on right across europe since the three recent terrorist attacks in the u.k. have you sensed any hardening up towards british muslims. well yeah i mean there is a rise and some phobia the police just. said that this is a rise of our own seventy seventy percent since. the docs the terrorist attacks happened in the last few weeks a month. we have finsbury park mosque we receive calls from people using us threatening us and we've seen some individual attack here and there somebody tried to for example to set a fire in the mosque breaking their windows or some of our community members been attacked specially women unfortunately i mean they've been attacked pushed in the street and so on but we never you know we never thought that something like that of a serious that we would that would happen. we try since ramadan we make sure that the security measures took place in the mosque and we have our our a security team there we didn't want the police presence because w

we need to think about their welfare and resilience of. lot of people here saying that islamophobia iser the brexit vote when people felt emboldened. following the attacks we had an in crete in hate crime affecting muslim communities. there has been a significant increase on the number of crimes being committed. —— an increase. the individual who will have committed this would have had no idea whether he was attacking muslims or not. this is a very diverse area. go along here at any time of day and you'll find people from all parts of the world, all parts of community. obviously this is an angry community right now. the message has gone out for calm and, commendably, people like the imam who spoke to say few moments ago got that message across to people who are perhaps wanting to attack the man who caused so much serious injury and death. absolutely. there is no time for people to be hot—headed. it's about calm heads, making sure we are resilient, we stick together as a community. i walked resilient, we stick together as a community. iwalked past resilient, we stick together as a commu

as we know, reports indicate there is a rising islamophobia and a rise in extremist crimes.ths especially, we find there is a backlash against muslims but it is important muslims themselves come out and show what the true islam is. i myself have received comments, slurs, abuse social media and people have said to me as well that this is terrible and what you guys are doing is against humanity. for us, it is important we show respect and tell them, you are misinformed about islam. it is important to show and portrayed the true teachings of islam so i would like to thank you for allowing us to come and voice our opinion about these incidents. the problem i suppose is still fringe activity, whether it is the islamophobics or those who use the name of islam to justify acts that you and most of your fellow muslims would regard as profoundly un—islamic, deeply offensive and wrong. it is a point you keep making, you are stuck with the damage those on the extremes do to the reputation of your faith. and the reputation of your faith. and the fear they create in the minds of people wh

people were shouting the incident was an act of islamophobia of white supremacy.t would seem to dovetail that this was an act of revenge. steve: we don't know that. people are going to draw many, many conclusions as to why an act was taken by an individual. if this individual has a mental health history of problems, if in fact this person is just someone who is a crazed individual, then the definition of a wait person going out there who has this revenge attitude is simply not true. gregg: it could be both. it could be somebody who is mentally disturbed and at the same time angry and seeking retribution. steve: when they look at his computers and look at his other forensics, if they find social media comment, social media postings that target muslims, then there you go. just what you said. a mixture of those two. but it will take a totality of information that's going to cause the police to come to a conclusion whether this was revenge or a terrorist attack. this is why it's taking so long for them to say this is a or b. yakie i would like to go -- jackie: i would

we have seen elements of islamophobia developed in different ways.state security services need to do more to think about how much resource they put into that, including in things like the prevent severe, how that might develop, in schools, education strategies, these sorts of things. a wider role for civil society to do more, become more aware, worked at what is acceptable and unacceptable too and maybe events like this will cause a rethink. i understand you say the media has a lock to do with it as well? this is something academics wrestle with. it is difficult to seek direct causal links between some of the more populist print media reporting of issues and how that might feed into violent extremism, but certainly we can talk about the media creating a more permissive environment and legitimising views that maybe even a few years ago would have been seen as quite taboo and problematic. exactly how that directly links to an individual act and incident is very difficult to demonstrate but it is again something we ought to think about. thank you very m

i causes islamophobia. i feel like, it'sjust wrong. i don't causes islamophobia.nd then things like this happen as retaliation to that, it is just corrupting our society. i feel like personally, i feel slightly targeted in our community personally, i feel slightly targeted in ourcommunity and personally, i feel slightly targeted in our community and i feel that social barriers have been put down thanks to things like that. when you say targeted, have you been feeling that for sometime and what made you feel that way? the increase in terror attacks in the media and how they are associated with islam and how mus littles have been portrayed as extremists and things like this. like the people in the van might have have felt the need to, ok, muslims are terrorists, we need to get rid of them. run them over or whatever. i feel slightly unsafe get rid of them. run them over or whatever. ifeel slightly unsafe in my own community thanks to stuff like this. we are in a very mixed area. that's everywhere in london.” have come down to express solidarity from teachers with peo
