The current violence on the streets of Britain is a clear example of Islamophobia, stemming from misinformation and far-right ideologies. 

The violence began after a peaceful vigil for three young girls fatally stabbed in Southport, leading to attacks on the local mosque and those inside. 

Despite the refutation of false claims that the perpetrator was a Muslim immigrant, Muslims and mosques continue to be targeted, along with migrant housing.
